Irish National Junior Uneven XC Championships

Harry Rewrites History at Navan

The mind of a young person is very impressionable. More open to learning and being shaped by outside factors.

Malcolm Cup Junior Report

Relentless Eve podiums at The Dub

There seems to be no such thing as too much muck and gutters for one season. Without fail, this has to be the most challenging season with regards the ground conditions underfoot and we’re only nearing the middle of the cross country season.

Though even with rerouting plans in place, Saturday morning welcomed the blue skies and dry conditions that every spectator could dream of.

NI & Ulster Uneven Age Group XC Championship

Report by Siobhan Grant

With recent inclement weather, there was no denying in the run up to the NI and Ulster Cross Country Uneven Championships in Donegal that it was going to be unavoidable muck, gutters and swimming pools. Though as one Athletics Coach at Athletics NI pointed out, that shouldn’t be a problem for the club with the mountain runners. And he wasn’t far wrong!
