All Ireland Schools Cross Country and other Club activities, 9 – 10 March 2024

Robert • March 13, 2024

Well done to Adam Jones and Enda Fitpatrick, DCH for developing an excellent cross country course for the All Ireland Schools Cross Country Championships in Tymon Park on Saturday 9th March. Adam and Enda spent several weeks designing the course and they ensured it was well tested out by running our Saturday morning cross country training session on it for the past weeks. Many thanks to all the Club members who worked very hard in setting up the course from 8.00 that morning and taking it down after the races. Well done to Club member Edel McCreery who came 5th in the Senior Girls race, while representing Loreto High School Beaufort.
