At the BLE Munster Cross Country Championships in Tulla Co. Clare, Paul Carroll of Leevale was the victor in the men’s junior race. Paul, younger brother of Mark, had to battle through a sea of mud to take first place. Ronan Crowley of Leevale was 5th, but unlike much of the previous years when Leevale easily took the team title, the team managed only 3rd place this year. In the senior women’s race, Carmel Parnell took 4th place, while in the senior men’s race, Cillian O’Tuama took the bronze medal. (Results)
