Munster Juvenile Even Age, U/23 & Novice Cross Country 2012

The Munster Juvenile Even Age, U/23 & Novice Cross Country Championships were held in Beaufort on Sunday 21st Oct. This years event was hosted by Star of The Laune AC. It was a beautiful sunny day and unbelievably the course was very dry with little to no hills. So it was going to be a fast course.

The course was well laid out, so well done to the organisers and stewards.

Our club was well represented on the day, and they all performed very well.
