Day 2 cross country in Baconstown

MEATH uneven ages u9/11/13/15/17 and intermediate cross country championships Sunday 9 October at 12 noon. Trim AC would like our the parents of young runners to make a big effort to attend this event. Its only a few miles out the road so excuses should be thin on the ground.Team competition is dependent on all members taking part. If you was in a football club how would you feel if only half the squad appeared on match day? 




How Do I get there?
Directions to Sunday's uneven age, junior & intermediate cross country in
Baconstown - from Trim take the road to Rathmolyon. Drive through Ratmolyon
on the R159 towards Enfield. About 4mls out of Ratmolyon there is a road to
the right with a sign "Na Fianna Football Pitch" - take that right and the
venue is up that road  on the left.

The girls under 12 team of Hannah Gilligan, Caoimhe Rowe, Andrea Hiney and Niamh Fahey finished in the bronze medal position at the Meath even ages cross country championships at Ballinacree. St Brigids reversed the first part of the course this year and considering the torrents of the past two days the conditions held up reasonably well, particularly in the hillier field.

The next under age competitions take place at Baconstown on Sunday 9 October with Na Fianna hosting the uneven ages (9/11/13/15/17) and intermediate championships.
