Taghmon AC Open Cross Country

Taghmon AC held their Cross Country Open last Sunday. A sunny morning on fairly good ground saw loads of underage athletes race their hearts out over the course.

Then it was the adults turn and Catherine O'Connor, Helen Sinnott and Ilze Bedrite pulled on their club colours and lined up on the start line.

Ilze had a great run finishing 4th in the Senior.

Catherine rolled back the years taking 2st in the Vet category with Helen just behind taking a super 2nd place.

Excellent results for the ladies and great preparation for the upcoming Cross Country season.

Kilmore Cross Country League

This morning Helen Sinnott was 2nd lady home and Siobhan Doyle was 3rd while Fiachra Mehigan ran in the U17 and finishing 3rd. Super result from our 3 athletes. Thanks to Kilmore Athletics Club for organising.

This League is great prep work for the upcoming cross country races beginning next Sunday 12th with the Mr Oil Novice & Even age in JFK Park followed on the 19th by the Mr Oil Intermediate & Uneven age at Wexford Racecourse.
