Guest runner Sarah Mulvaney-Kelly led the way in the U13 girls race, ahead of Faela Houston (Rosses) and Holly McNulty (Finn Valley). McNulty led the Finn Valley team to victory.

Cranford AC’s Caolan McFadden continued his excellent form with an impressive win in the U15 boys event, pulling away from Mark Galvin to take the victory. The team gold was won by Finn Valley, just edging Letterkenny by two points.

Anna Russell form Letterkenn AC took the U15 girls race in a real tense battle, seeing off Mia Fletcher of Cranford and Letterkenny AC’s Emma Bonner, with LAC taking the team title.

Cranford’s Clodagh Neely took the U17 gold and led her team to victory with the U17 boys gold going to Letterkenny AC’s Philip McGee, who also won the U16 race the weekend before.
