Autumn Open International Cross Country

Well done to our athletes competing in Dublin at the cross country event on Sunday.

A sunny and warm day made it feel more like a Summers day instead of the damp and grey more associated with cross country.

Catherine O’Connor ran to an excellent  11th W55 race.

Roisin O'Reilly was competing in the senior race placing well in 25th.

Helen Sinnott completed in Autumn Open 4000 metres Experience which completed the day's racing in Dublin.

Well done to both ladies.
