COUNTY NOVICE B CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS


The County Novice B Cross Country Championships were also held at the Turnpike, Two Mile Borris on Sunday last. We had six athletes in action.


The women’s race was over 3k and we one athlete competing, Mairead Julian, who was fifth in 14:54.


The men’s race was over 6k and we had five competing. Philip O’Dwyer dominated the race to win comfortably in 23:32, 19 seconds ahead of second place. Philip only started racing this year and this was his debut in this championship. It was a great performance.

Next we had 11th Gerry O’Neill 25:13 and 12th Darren Gayson 25:16. These three placed fourth in the team just two points short of bronze. Next, we had 17th Jim Halley 26:07 and 23rd Shane White 28:01.


A special mention goes to Mairead and Gerry, who ran on tired legs after running the Dublin City Marathon the previous Sunday.
