We had a small group of juveniles competing. Eabha McCarthy was first to compete in the U10 1000m race. Eabha who was 2nd in the county c'ship ran a good race and finished 34th out of a field of over one hundred. Kian Costello ran in the U10 boys, out of age and did very well.
Shauna McCarthy ran in the U12 2000m race. Again highly competitive, Shauna had two laps of the hilly route to negotiate. She did very well to finish in 16th place with a superb fast 100m race to the finish line.
Cian Spillane and Cormac Costello ran in the U12 Boys race. Cian was in the lead group from the start and in the last lap it was a fight between first and second place for Cian. Cian made a break with 100m to go on the downhill. But he was just pipped at the finish line to take a well deserved 2nd place position. Cian will now go forward to represent Munster in the National finals in November. Cormac also ran very well and finished the race strong.
The club had a ladies team in the Novice 4000m race. Caitriona Barry lead the team out and got stronger as the race unfolded. She eventually finished in 6th place overall and 4th in Novice category, Caitriona was also part of the county silver team medal winners.Grainne Tierney competing in her very first munster competition making did very well to finish in the top 20. Danielle Corkery & Pauline Joseph worked very hard together in completing this difficult course. Well done to you all.
