Clonliffe club cross country c`ships ’17 (updated)

Today was, as Sky Sports would say, Championship Saturday. The Clonliffe Club Cross country for both Juveniles and seniors. There was a great turn out for the Juvenile Championships in the U/9 to U/15 age groups of athletes and parents. It was particularly good to see so many parents lined up on the finishing straight cheering on the youngsters.

The ground was a little muddy in places after persistent overnight rain, but that`s Cross Country! The young athletes as always performed with great enthusiasm and there were brilliant battles for honours all the way to the line.

Here, (thanks to Ulrik for results and photos) are the U9-U15 results from today’s club XC championships.
