Men win 1st O/45 Team
A great days cross country racing took place on
Sunday at Murley’s Cross over a superb course and well organised by St
Catherine’s AC. We had a fine representation there and all acquitted themselves
very well. It was great to see Rod Scanlon back in action and running well
whilst Edmond O’Sullivan showed once again the cross country is his forte with
a very fine run. It was great also to see Ger O’Regan making his debut and
running well. There were far too many other fine individual performances to
mention. Our men also took 1st O/45 team prize with Neilus Aherne, Edmond O'Sullivan, John Cashman and Ger O'Regan.
Our ladies also had fine runs with Eileen Leahy
coming 3rd Novice and Sally Drennan taking 1st O/45 and
Joan Hough taking 2nd O/45. Our ladies also took 3rd
Novice Team (Eileen Leahy, Margaret Twohig and Emer Hayes) and also took 1st O/45 team (
Sally Drennan, Joan Hough and Margaret Twohig). Emer Hayes also had a fine run and without her we would not have got the 3rd Novice team prize.
