Sunday the 18th the Mr. Oil County County Senior Cross Country took place in Piercestown, kindly hosted by DMP AC. After a bitterly cold week the weather changed to wet, damp and grey giving a very different set of underfoot conditions to deal with.

As is customary the ladies were first to race and our own Ciara Dolan 10th, Mary Gaynor 12th, Ilze Bedrite 13th, Catherine O'Connor 14th & Helen Sinnott 15th all performed fantastically well over the 5k race. After the results were calculated our ladies have claimed a Bronze team medal for their efforts in what we think is the first time the club had a full ladies team at this event. A fantastic result and well deserved result for our ladies well done.

The men's race was up next and today we had 2 competitors in the 46 in a really competitive 10k race. Well done to Tony Harpur 30th and John Dier 46th on their runs.

Thanks to all who made the event possible including the hard working County Board and hosts DMP and all volunteers on the day.
