The Mr. Oil Senior Cross Country, the pinnacle of the Cross Country season took place yesterday in Lingstown, kindly hosted by Kilmore AC. Considering the time of year the conditions were very good for running and the ground underfoot better than most other years when the event was held. A small group of club athletes headed to the 5k ladies & 10k mens events. Another well organised event by the County Board and everyone who volunteered in any capacity and the club would like to pass on their thanks for all the efforts put in for this race and indeed all the County races of 2021.
Ladies as always were first up and in the 5k race we had Mary Gaynor 18th & Catherine O'Connor 19th running very good races and looked comfortable throughout the 2.5 lap route. Well done ladies.
Next up in the Men's 10k Dermot Foley & Gavin Hayes set off on the 5 lap course and gave good accounts of themselves with Gavin 54th & Dermot just behind in 56th place. Well done men.
A word of thanks to Helen Sinnott & Padraig Kelly who gave their time as volunteers at todays event.
