This Sunday looks like being one of the  biggest days racing for Rathfarnham athletes according to Club Captain Barry Minnock.On Sunday Sean Hehir competes for Ireland in the European Cross Country Championships in Budapest. Sean has being running very consistantly all year on the roads and cross country, never finishing outside the top 3. He has done the Club proud. Sean is the second person from the Club to feature at a major championships this year, following Caitriona Jennings run in the London Olympic marathon.

Also on Sunday we  have two teams in the National Novice Cross Country Championships in Adamstown Co. Wexford. After Paul Stephenson's wins in the Dublin Novice and Intermediate Championships and the team's win in the Dublin Intermediate CC Championships, hopes are high that more All Ireland medals will be won on Sunday.

The best of luck to all. Details on both events are on the AAI website.
