Dec 15 County Senior CC

2024-12-16T10:05:43+00:00

After a couple of years with an October date the 2024 County Senior Cross Country today was back close to the Christmas. Today's event hosted by the St Senan's club was held in Kilmacow. KCH, winners of the men's and women's national titles in 2023, would be expected to have it easy at county level. It didn't turnout that way.
