Well done to Matt Alexander this week as he travelled over to
Glasgow as part of the Irish O/55 team to compete at the Five Nations cross
country on last Saturday. Over an extremely mud laden course, with a severe
incline thrown in for good measure, it was a real test for all competitors.
Nevertheless he put in a real big effort as he was fourth man home for the
team. Unfortunately, the squad were just outside the
medals but it was well worth the experience and wore the Irish singlet with
great pride. This Sunday, its back to County competition as the Novice B is
staged in Moyne, where we hope to have a strong team taking part.
