Cavan Cross Country Kicks Off in Crover
The opening day of the Cavan Cross Country took place on Sunday 4th October, hosted by ourselves in Donohoe’s field, Crover. In action were the masters and juvenile even age groups over distances ranging from 600m to 5km over the rolling hills of Cavan.
In the under 10 girls race, Anna Campbell lead the charge for the Innyvale team, coming home in third place, with clubmates Layla and Katelyn Denneny in sixth and seventh and Ella Mae Farrelly in ninth. Molly O’Hare and Erin Shanaghy completed the 600m course in sixteenth and seventeenth places. These results were good enough to secure second place for the team. In the boys race, Charlie Lynch finished in second place, with Evan Farrelly eight, Ronan Farrelly tenth and Sean Lynch in eleventh. The four boys finished high enough up the order to claim second placed team on the day.
Next up was the under 12 girls race, were Saoirse Tully was the first Innyvale runner home in fourth place, followed by Robyn Everett in ninth, Robyn McCabe in eleventh, Maisie O’Hare sixteenth and Navah O’Donohue in nineteenth. The girls were the bronze medal winning team on this occasion. In the boys race, Oisin Tully was the winner of the gold medal, with Rory Donohoe and Liam Lynch finishing the tough 1200m race in sixteenth and eighteenth places.
For the under 14s, the distances increase significantly but two laps of the hilly course wasn’t going to stop Sophie Lynch from putting in a very well judged race to overtaking the early leaders and win the 2000m event. While in the masters event, Simon Nulty was second in the V1 category in the 5km race.
Well done to all and thank you to everyone who turned up on the day to support our athletes. Thank you to all everyone who prepared the course and cleared up after and especially to Philip, Sarah, Breege and Val Donohoe for the use of their land.
