West Waterford to Host Munster Cross Country Championships
On Sunday next the club will host the first round of the Munster cross-country championships. A large crowd is expected at the Friary for this event so come early. The first race will get under way at twelve noon. West Waterford will have one of its largest entries ever at these championships and after the great performance we saw at the two sessions of the county championships many of our athletes can expect to be among the individual, club and county medal winners. There will be individual medals for the first twelve athletes across the line and three club team and three county team prizes in each race. Under 12 and upwards can qualify for the All Ireland. The first twelve athletes will qualify to represent Munster and the first four club teams and three county teams will also qualify for the All Ireland. With fields of up to two hundred athletes in some of the races it is important to come early to collect numbers, check in and warm up. West Waterford athletes will gather from 10.30. Check in with Antoinette O’Brien and Helen Nugent and collect you numbers from Mary Ashe. Rosemary O’ Riordan and Harry O’ Brien will warm up with the under 10 athletes. Pat Earley and Ger Wyley will help the under 12 athletes to warm up and Tony Shalloe will warm up with the under 14’s, 16’s and 18’s.
As usual Bro. Lennon will have the course in top condition and with good weather expected next week the course will be just right for some very fast running. The best of luck to everyone taking part. Listed below are the West Waterford teams for this event:
