Our senior girls were concluding a very busy and successful season of cross country today in Santry by competing in the National Novice championship. The girls battled hard in very cold conditions and finished 2nd team by one point behind DSD. Everyone of the team gave their all with Niamh Donnelly finished 9th, Clare Brennan was 14th despite a heavy nosebleed for most of the race, Aislinn Moorehouse was 20th and Sinead Cronin fought all the way to the line for 34th place. Heather and Aoife didnt make the scoring team but raced all the way to the finish. Olwyn had a recurrence of a knee problem and had to drop out but will be back another day. The state of the team after the race showed the effort they put in so a big well done to every one of you. Niamh and Clare were scoring members of the winning Dublin team. It was tough to lose the title by one point but the club is very proud of all involved with our older girls today. Next Year!!!
