On Sunday 6th November the Kerry County Senior, Junior & Juvenile Relay Cross Country was held at Kilahone, Firies. After all the rain during the week the ground was wet and muddy. Fortunately on race day, it was warm and sunny.
Thanks to Denis Cronin and family for the use of their land and to the local organising committee led by Joe Clifford and Jim O'Shea in laying out the course.
SENIORS:
Congratulations to Maria McCarthy who got a silver medal in the womens senior race.
Arthur Fitzgerald also ran a good race to finish second in the senior mens race with the team winning silver (Arthur Fitzgerald, George Mccarthy, Ger Ladden and Tadhg Mannix)
