It was a chilly start to the day for the latest fixture in the North District Cross Country League. This is the third round race.
Fortunately the day warmed up (slightly!).
The course proved rather boggy in places following the recent poor weather, with the long drag up to the start/finish area particularly muddy. The many exposed tree roots in this section were another hazard, but fortunately there appeared to be no casualties. All in all, a nice technical challenge. The finish line gave a final chance for runners to overtake and gain another valuable place, provided they weren’t shattered from the slog up the muddy hill!
The races went off in the usual order, and the following is a summary of how MRRs performed in each race. 
U11 Girls – Grace Jenkins 10th, Harriet Whelan 18th, Niamh Grant 28th
U11 Boys – Finlay Downey 12th, Zachary Henson 18th,

A big thank you to all who were involved in organising, competing and marshalling.
