The first race of the day was the women's Novice 3000m race. The club team was made up of Pauline Joseph, Danielle Corkery and our two new members Grainne Tierney & Jane Hewitt.

The Novice winner was Sharon Cahill (An riocht AC)
The Novice Men's winner was Cillian O'Donovan (Iveragh AC)
In the Juveniles races we had a total of 22 athletes competing. Some for the very first time. They all performed exceptionally well.
