Cara with Juliette on the last leg bringing the team home in 9th place out of 23 teams.

Pearl and Amelia led out our two under 15 teams in fine style. Pearl handed over to Saoirse Bergin in 5th place. Saoirse Rogers and Jessica completed the team which finished a fine 6th overall out of 14 teams. Amelia’s team of Emma, Freya o
Connor and Caroline finished a very solid 9th team overall with Caroline having a great battle for the 9th place.

Great running by all the girls and a nice change of pace in the middle of a long cross country season.
The girls were very excited to see our senior team of Pierre, our Olympian Jodie McCann , Niamh Carr and Phillip Marron win the senior mixed relay and get selected for the European clubs mixed relay next spring.
