Popular Sports & Party - January 31st

On a crispy finish to January the Waterford AC juvenile cross country sports and party took place at the Mount Sion GAA grounds and while the air temperature was low the juvenile members and Mams & Dads were steaming around the course and earning their well deserved medals, Beanies and grub. Well done to all who competed and the many who helped out, From Richie putting up the registrations tent to Albert at the start line to Fintan on the Loudspeaker to Niamh and Siobhain on entries to Shirley and Margaret on the results analysis to Brendan on the camera and the many, many more who helped out throughout the day as the need arose. Summary of results below and full photo gallery to follow shortly.

Well done to all and huge thanks to CAME who sponsored all the prizes and Beanie hats.
