WEEKEND RUNAROUND
We Are The Champions (Well Our Ladies Are)
Spectacular results for our club in the East Cork Cross Country Championships in Conna on Sunday.
We saw some fantastic racing and all our runners ran their hearts out.
Our Ladies did amazingly well. Led home by Sinead Falvey who took individual 3rd overall and led home our Ladies Team of Sinead O'Driscoll, Nathalie O'Connell and Eileen Leahy to overall victory in the Ladies Championship race.
She also led the Ladies O/35 Team of Sinead O'Driscoll and Nathalie O'Connell to Gold whilst taking individual Gold herself in the Ladies O/35 and Sinead O'Driscoll taking Silver and Nathalie O'Connell taking individual Bronze. Joan Hough took Bronze O45.
A special mention for Nathalie O'Connell who stepped in to make up the Ladies Team and running cross country for the very first time ran a brilliant race to enable the team to take the gold.
Unfortunately we did not have a men's team but Edmond O'Sullivan took bronze O/45 and Rod Scanlan had a mighty run to narrowly miss out on bronze finishing a very close 4th.
A fantastic day for our club and its great to say we did so well.
