Masters Cross Country 9th January

The Mr Oil County Masters Cross Country took place today in Camross on a tough but fair course hosted by United Striders.

As always it was ladies first as they stepped to the start line at 11am. Mary Gaynor & Catherine O'Connor were representing the club with Mary finishing 16th and Catherine 17th place both running strong races and Mary winning gold in W55 cat, congratulations Mary.

Immediately after the ladies the Men's race started. Tony Harpur was our first member across the finish line in a very creditable 24th place. Dermot Foley in 34th, Gavin Hayes just behind in 35th, Tadhg Henderson finished 38th and John Dier finished 39th and claimed bronze in M55 cat, congratulations John.

A lot of training goes into preparing for events like these so we'll done to all members and their coaches. Thanks also to Co Board and their helpers for organising the event and we'll done to United Striders for hosting.
