Dundrum AC men at the County Novice Cross Country.
Dundrum AC had strong representation in both the ladies and men’s races at the County Novice Cross Country last Sunday in Turnpike near Two Mile Borris.
Five Dundrum AC athletes competed in the ladies race over the 4k course. Making her debut at this level in cross country after coming up from a Junior was Eimear Loughman who placed 8th. She was closely followed by 10th Mairead Julian who also ran very well. The club’s ladies bunched well together with 12th Mary Keane, 13th Laura McCarthy Armstrong (who had just flown back the night before from her wedding in Lanzarote) and 14th Martha Quirke. Eimear, Mairead and Mary just fell short of the bronze team medal by one point.
