Well done to everyone who took part in the second day of the Cavan Cross Country in Killinkere on th 9th October. We had a fabulous turnout from the club once again and a tough but enjoyable series of races. The coaches are very happy and proud of the individual performances of our athletes regardless of their ability, all gave it their best and ensured a strong showing from their teams.

Logan Rotheram collected the bronze medal in the boys race, followed closely by Finn Briody in fourth, Mason Cullen in fifth and Lucas O’Reilly in seventh place. 

The distance for the U11 girls race was a big step up from the previous race at 1,000m, but the challenge was ably taken on by Kayla Smith who won the event, leading home her team of Íosa Lynch, Kate Fitzpatrck, Jamie Condon, Íosa Brady and Riley Condon to team silver medals.
