Togher athletes had another successful outing at the 2nd leg of the Munster Juvenile Cross-Country Championships today. The races were held at Carrignavar in damp and windy conditions.
First into action were the u13 Boys team competing in their first ever Munster championships. They performed admirably finishing 5th team. John Durcan had a super run leading the team home in 29th place. Billy Murphy followed him home in 42nd and Eoin Bourke in 53rd.The Cork team was 2nd with John a scoring man.
The u15 Boys team ran very well finishing 2nd team. Patrick Coleman was with the leaders for most of the race and finished a very good 3rd. He was followed home by Shaun Healy 28th, Cullen Lynch 35th and Conor Foley 37th. The Cork team was 2nd in the u15 race with Patrick and Shaun scoring men on the team.
The boys u17 race was won by the very talented Shane Quinn of Ferrybank AC. Adam Kelleher had a super run despite being sick last week, finishing in 6th place. Togher athletes packed well with Peter Hanrahan 12th, David O’ Keeffe 13th, Mark Tobin 15th and Brian Murray 16th. Here the club team came 1st and 3rd. The Cork team also came 1st with Adam, David and Peter scoring men on the team.
The final race of the day was the u19 race with Richard Quirke leading the club home in 12th place. Others to run well were James Fennell 17th, Craig Harrington 18th and Eric Murphy 21st. The team came 2nd to a very strong Ferrybank squad. The Cork team came 2nd with Richard, James, Craig and Eric all scoring for the team.
The Inter mens team also ran very well led home by the in form Eoin O’ Sullivan in 4th place. Others to run well were Elton Heffernan, Donal Coakley and Dan Weaver. There are no results available at present. Well done to all the clubs athletes on some superb performances and their attention now turns to the 1st leg of the All-Ireland Cross-Country championships on November 25th in the Curragh.
Craig Murphy traveled to Tilburg in Holland to take part in the International Cross-Country event today. Craig was in great form heading over but had a very poor performance finishing 17th in 20.59. The race was won by Irelands Brendan O’ Neill in 19.48. Craig was 6th Irish Junior in the race and was incredibly disappointed with his performance. He has vowed to make up for it at the European Junior trials in 2 weeks time in the Curragh. We wish him the best of luck in his goal to compete at the European Cross-Country championships in Spain on December 9th.
