West Limerick Ac Notes 26/9/81
Novice and Underage Cross Country

Firstly the Girls u/18 team were gold winners cross country with individual results of Kate Downes 2nd, Sophie Moroney 4th, Grace O Donnell 5th & Sinead Woulfe 6th. It was great running by the girls and just reward for the training they put in. Marie Cagney ran very well to finish in 2nd place and come home with a silver medal in under the 12 race.
Novice Men’s Cross Country
Our mens Novice team were lead home by 5th David Richardson and 6th Declan Guina. Mark Purcell, Eoin McAuliffe and Shane Quill all ran to win West Limerick the team bronze medals.

Well done to Tara Carr and Ide Curtin on completing this 10 mile race in 1:33. The funds from the race are being used to build a track in Killarney. A very worthy cause to promote athletics for the community.
