County Senior cross country at Porchfields

Trim Athletic Club hosted the Meath senior cross country championships and
juvenile inter club relays.On  a day ideal for cross country running there
were some great performances n the Meath senior cross country championships.
The course which had all the right ingredients and gradients for
championship racing was in great condition for the final event of the
season. The mens race was over an eight kilometre course and thee womens
decider was over four kilometres.

In the senior mens race Darragh Rennicks returned from his Kansas college
for his county champiosnhip and carried the colours of Bohermeen with pride
to a third county senior title. He was a joy to watch powering out from the
gun in the company of Luke Forde, Dunboyne. He extended his lead in the mid
section of the race as Robbie Matthews, Dunshaughlin patiently worked his
way into the silver medal spot. The eventual third placed man Eoin Callaghan
continued his impressive return to competitive athletics by taking third and
leading his team mates Rob Tully, Andrew Coscoran and brother Neil Callaghan
from Star of the Sea to a great win in the team event.

In the womens event Fiona Mahon put in a storming performance score an
impressive win. Fiona recently returned to the  Meath club scene when she
joined Dunshaughlin AC.and led their team to the club title with Shauna
Moran, Linda Fahey and Shauna Moore. Emilia Dan, Dunboyne AC put in another
great run for second and club mate Karen O Hanlon took third spot.
