– Celtic International Cross Country
Cork
athletes Fearghal Curtin and Luke Horgan
win Gold team medals on Irish U17 Team.
Fearghal Curtin (Youghal AC) and Luke Horgan
(Leevale AC) competed on the U17 Irish team at the Celtic International Cross
Country race in Cardiff on Sunday 20th January. Thankfully the flight departed
with both the U17 Girls and Boys teams from Dublin on Saturday morning with only
a minor delay despite severe weather conditions in Wales. A snow covered
ground greeted them on arrival much to the delight of the athletes. The race
was held at Blackweir Fields, Cardiff right across
the road from their hotel. The venue resembled a ski resort on Sunday as
there had been very heavy snowfall. This made it heavy going for the lads
as they had a gruelling 5,650m run a lot of which was through woodland with
underfoot conditions difficult and very chilly. However all the athletes
gave a great account of themselves and won the team
event beating Scotland by two points; Wales and Ulster also had teams.
First in were Kevin Mulcaire (Ennis Track) 3rd,
Pierre Murchan (Celtic DSD) 4th both given a time of
19.47 as they were so close; next in was Fearghal
Curtin of Youghal AC 6th 20.07 and Luke Horgan of Leevale 10th 20.46. This was a brilliant
achievement for this team and especially for the Cork athletes Fearghal and Luke. Well done also to the girls team which
were also victorious and to Siofra O’ Flaherty who
won the race; her team included Eimear Fitzpatrick , Isobel Odlum
and Aoife Mulroy.
Unfortunately Aoife Hamilton of West Waterford who
also qualified could not compete on the day. Many
thanks to team managers John McGrath and Evelyn O’ Reilly for looking after
lads so well.
