Relatively small, but high quality, fields at today's Autumn Open Cross-Country Meet at Abbottstown, Dublin saw several Cork/Cork related Podium-Topping finishes, with Jane Buckley, Leevale AC, win the Junior Women's Race, with a comfortable 15 second margin. East Cork AC's Tim O'Donoghue continued his impressive form, winning the Masters Mens Race, and beating a high-calibre field.  Former Bantry AC athlete, Darragh McElhinney, now rúnning with his college club, UCD AC, won the Senior Mens Race

Several other Cork athletes were among the fields at the meet; Youghal AC had four athletes in the Junior Womens race; Avril Millerick (8th), Avril Cashman (10th), Emma Landers (12th) and Alex Cashman (15th), with Holly Carroll, Blarney Inniscarra AC, just behind her in 16th place

In the Masters Womens Race, Michelle Kenny, Leevale AC, was 7th overall, taking F40 Bronze, while Carmel Crowley, Bandon AC, took F50 Gold, in 18th place, with Mallow AC's Breda Gaffney, just behind in 19th place, for 5th F45

While Darragh McElhinney won the Senior Mens race, his brother Eoghan, Bantry AC, was 29th

The junior Mens race saw Tommy Connolly, Leevale AC, finish 12th, with clubmates Matthew Lee 27th and Alan Harrington 32nd, and Youghal AC's Ciaran McNamee was 24th

Behind Tim O'Donoghue ihn the Masters Men came Donal Coakley, Leevale AC, in 18th place - no doubt we'll be treated to another '10 Things' from Donal! - and Midleton AC's John Hennessy was 32nd

Masterful McElhinney Shines at Autumn Open

Darragh McElhinney (U.C.D. A.C.)  was the star turn at the 5th edition of the Autumn Open Cross Country supported by Fingal County Council at a resplendent Sport Ireland Campus today (October 17)

The purpose-built cross-country course was in magnificent condition on this, it’s final day of competition in advance of the SPAR European Cross-Country Championships on December 12th

With the main races combined over different distances, McElhinney was to the fore in the men’s senior race throughout – keeping tabs on GB athlete Tom Mortimer as they leading pack entered the final lap

The UCD athlete galloped away towards the end to clock an impressive 22.59 to back up his recent IUAA title. Mortimer would follow home in second place (23.07) with Thomas McStay of Galway City Harriers looking just as impressive, crossing the line for 3rd (23.08)

The senior athletes had to contend with the company of teen sensation Nicholas Griggs (Mid Ulster AC) who stayed with the leading pack before verging off to claim the junior title over the shortened course (6,000m) in a blistering 18.26. Scott Fagan (Metro/St. Brigid's A.C.) in 19:10 and Aaron Smith (Cilles A.C.) in 19:15 completed the top three

There was a huge entry in the master’s competition, and Tim O’Donoghue (East Cork A.C.) M35 was first of the masters athletes across the line with a 23:36 performance

In the senior women’s race, Abbie Donnelly (GB) went back-to-back, following up her 2019 win with another stunning front running display to take the victory in a brilliant 21.04.  Donnelly went from the gun and a leading pack which included Ann Marie McGlynn (Letterkenny AC) soon developed a break on the field

McGlynn’s marathon stamina saw her stay on powerfully up the final hill to cross the line in second, and in doing so secured the women’s masters title in 20.58. Donnelly’s clubmate Kirsty Walker (GB) would cross in third, while the ever-consistent Mary Mulhare (Portlaoise AC) was next to cross in 21.15

The junior women’s race was another superb finish with Jane Buckley of Leevale AC claiming the bragging rights in a hard-fought battle with Celine Gavin (DCH AC) and Roisin O’Reilly (Menapians AC)

Buckley showed great composure heading out onto the final lap and kept enough in reserve to storm away coming into the final straight to cross in 16.08
