Cork County Cross Country Championships 2013

Last Sunday saw the club attend the Cork County Cross Country championships, hosted again by Carrignavar AC. Our novice ladies were first out on the course for the 4km event and were pleased with their individual performances. For some it was their first cross country outing, so well done to all. St. Catherine’s were well represented in the men’s novice 6km run also. 1pm sharp saw the start of the juvenile races in which St. Catherine’s had a total of 15 participants. Running conditions were favourable on the day that saw Megan Carr O’Reilly take silver in the U12, well done Megan as you were the only St. Catherine’s runner in a very big field of runners. Next to finish in the medals was Ciaran O’Brien in the U12 category, who along with his fellow under 12 team members ran a 2km race. Next to the start line were our 3 under 14 girls, with Laura Hayes winning bronze in a tight finish, Sara Barry and Caoimhe Hayes also did very well and finished the race strongly. James Clancy and Joanna Leahy-Dingivan represented the club in the boys U-14 and girls U-16 respectively. So all in all Well done to all the athletes who participates and represented both their families and club over the weekend.
Juvenile training continues Monday and Thursday evening at 7pm in Conna pitch. New members always welcome. Next Sunday 13th October see the club travel to West Muskerry AC who are hosting the Cork County intermediate and Juvenile Uneven Age Cross Country Championships.
