County Team Bronze Medal

In Lingstown the County Intermediate Cross Country took place on a windy and cold day. Ladies were first to tackle the course with 4k to run. Well done to Alex Donohue Helen Sinnott and Louise Henderson who ran well in the tough conditions. Special mention to Alex who was involved in a sprint finish and just missed out on a bronze medal. Next up was the mens race as they set out to complete an 8k race. We had Dermot Foley, Neal O'Grady, Paul Donovan, Martin Kelly and John Dier all running the race and we have a bronze team medal to celebrate. Congratulations to all our runners who braved the wild day and a special word of congratulation to of Mens County Bronze medal winners.

Well done.
