Next up came our Novice B Ladies and here again were saw some very good running with nice tight packing from all the girls Aoife Fouhy our first lady home showed some true cross country talent in that this was her first ever cross country next came the ever improving Gillian Bransfield running her fastest 4Km ever followed by Anne Marie Perry only one place behind and again showed true talent in that this was also her first cross country race. Next came Margaret Twohig as always solid as a rock holding her position and picking off runners all the time. Their finishing places were 7,9,10,12 which just shows what good packing they achieved and they took the Silver medals losing out by only a few points.Well done ladies.
Our men's team also ran a great race finishing 4th team overall and losing out on the bronze by only a few points. There were far too many to comment on individual performances but everyone performed superbly well One must mention Rod Scanlan's super sprint at the finish and Brian Harty epic battle to hold his place.Well done all each one of you played your part in a great days running for your club.
