St Joseph’s set for glory in cross country championships

Round one of the county Kilkenny cross-country championships was held in Ballycurran Cross on Sunday. The course, well marked out by officials from host club, St Joseph’s, was in good condition despite the heavy overnight rain. The weather was good and so were the results for St Joseph’s. Thirteen points from victory with boys under 10 and under 16 and girls under 18 combined with second place for teams in boys under 12 and under 14 set them up with a good chance to re-capture the juvenile shield which Kilkenny City Harriers have held for the last couple of years. Aughavillar is currently in second place with ten points but as they have a lack of athletes in the older age groups it would seem that they have a lot to do to catch St Joseph’s.

Athletes brave the treacherous weather to take All-Ireland honours

image preview

Crossing the bridge over the Annalee River, just outside Ballyhaise, Co Cavan, on Sunday morning was a treacherous affair. A very heavy frost on Saturday night turned cars, grass and trees white. Early arrivals for the uneven ages All-Ireland cross country championships found the carpark resembling a skating rink and the course, unlike the muck in Ballinakill, was white and hard. Thankfully the early morning sun brought a welcome thaw so that by the starting time of the first race at noon, conditions had greatly improved. Most of the Kilkenny athletes who braved the frost and fog for the long drive to Ballyhaise were rewarded with excellent results bringing home eight All-Ireland medals.
