He was the 1st of the 3 Irish men home in a superb 1:26:03 in 68th position.

Mr Oil Intermediate and Uneven Age Cross Country.

Held in a damp Wexford Racecourse with a fair but challenging course Wexford Athletics hosted the 2nd day of cross country running. Heavy showers overnight and a damp drizzle made for a perfect cross country atmosphere at the Racecourse.

In the U11 girls race Piper Farrell had a fantastic run in her very first cross country race finishing 14th in a field of 28 athletes. Well done Piper.

As the rain stopped the the grey sky became a blue one the ladies 4km race began. We had Sharon Martin, Catherine O'Connor, Ilze Bedrite & Helen Sinnott all eager to dirty their runners on the muddy track. They combined well to secure a Team Silver medal, a brilliant and well deserved result congratulations ladies.

Finally the last race of the day was the men's. 8km was their distance as Tony Harpur and John Dier gave it their all as they emptied the tank, well done gents.

Thanks to Siobhan who volunteered on the day and John & Sharron for sorting access to the Racecourse.

Tough athletes run cross country so well done to all who ran.
