Last Sunday the County Novice B cross country was hosted by Moyne
Athletic club over an
excellent
course. We had nine men taking part which was a great achievement for us. Donal
Horgan went straight to the leading pack and remained up there for the entire
four lap circuit. He was joing leader going out on
the final lap, and though hard as he tried, he had a terrific run to finish
second. The rest of the lads were putting in amazing performances, as Dermot
Logue put in a great sprint for fourth, and not that far behind came Michael
Carey in eighth with another strong run. With three to score , the lads were
rewarded with a brilliant team title. A great result. We had more great running
from the rest of the boys as Matt Alexander came through for tenth and Joe
Keaney in 12th and a big effort from Jack Alexander in 19th. These lads were
just outside the team medals in fifth place. Our other three fellows were
Andrew Galloway 22nd, Martin Ivors 23rd and Jim McDonnell all with tough
running behind them in very cold conditions. Our next outing will be the County
Senior cross country on the 18th December staged by the Dundrum club.
