Well done to all the Youghal AC athletes who travelled to compete in the Uneven ages Muster Cross Country Championships at Powerstown Park, Clonmel on Sunday 13^th November. The course was challenging with a nice uphill climb on the bigger lap. Weather conditions were good.

The first race saw our Girls U/9 team in action including Caoilfhionn Barry 39^th, Kira Fitzgerald 43^rd, Aimee Morgan 45^th, Hazel Nolan 59^th, Sarah Kate Dorgan 69^th, Amy McCarthy 75^th and Zoe Whelan 80^th. Their team placing was 7^th in a large field.

Girls U/11 included Rebecca O’ Sullivan 43^rd, Ciara Leahy 78^th, Faith McEvitt 96^th, Tirna Cahill 90^th and Lauraleigh Baker 107^th. This race is to be re-run in Limerick on 20^th October in conjunction with the Munster Bs due to an error on the start line.

Boys U/11 – Jake McCarthy had a brilliant run to come in 6^th place to win an individual medal and was the first scorer for Cork who won gold in the inter-county. Next in was Sam McSweeney 37th, Matthew Cody 47^th and Peter Buckley 79^th. Their team came 6^th.

Girls U/13 included Aine O’ Regan 71^st, Karynn Collins 73^rd, Jayne O’ Sullivan 81^st and Tara Murphy 82^nd. Boys U/13 – Killian Nolan again had a very good run to come in 27^th and was the 5^th scorer on the Cork team which came 3^rd. Next in was Eoin O’ Brien 40th Eoghan Dorgan 66^th and William Baker 86^th.

Sarah O’ Sullivan who is showing great improvement came 23^rd in the U/15 and was the 5^th scorer on the Cork team which came 2^nd. Fearghal Curtin had a strong run also to come in 6^th in the u/15 race thus winning an individual medal and he was the 3^rd scorer on the Cork team which won the inter-county competition.

Patricia Curtin finished 20^th and was the third scorer on the Cork team which was unlucky to finish in 4^th place.

Thank you to Alison O'Connor from Youghal Pharmacy for presenting Youghal Athletic Club with a first aid kit.
