Kerryman Article 1/3/10

Cork Institute of Technology hosted this years Munster Schools Cross Country Championships which saw some excellent results claimed by Kerry’s athletes and Schools.

Cillian O’Donovan of Colaiste Na Sceilge stormed to victory in the Junior boys 3500m race in a time of 11.49 and high finishes by team mates Liam O’Connell, Andy Quigley and Brian Sugure saw Colaiste Na Sceilge take top spot in the Team section. Mercy Mount Hawk put in a strong challenge over this distance as well with Mitchell Holland finishing 9th and Connor O’Mahony 17th in a field of almost 70 athletes.

In the minor boys 2000m Michael Burns of St. Brendans Killarney was a close 2cd with Tom O’Sulleabhain of Pobal Scoil Chorca Dhuibhne in 4th and Adam Barrett 11th for Tralee C.B.S In the senior boys 6000 Tadhg Moore of St. Brendans Killarney finished strongly in 5th

Strong performances continued in the girls events with Mary Fitzgerald of Colaiste na Sceilge coming 3rd in a close senior girls event which was won by recent Cork City Sports Award winner Orlagh Farmer. Niamh Joy from Intermediate School Killorglin came in shortly afterwards in 9th position.

In the Intermediate 3000 Niamh De Hora from Pobal Schoil Chorca Duibhne was Kerry’s highest finisher in 6th while excellent runs by Karen Curran, Brigid Dennehy and Grace Lynch saw Colaiste Na Sceilge take it’s second team title of the day while in the Minor 1500m race Sarah Cooper Vannessa Dineen Michelle Leary took 3rd place in the team event for Mercy Mount Hawk.

Hopefully we’ll see a repeat of these strong results when Kerry athletes line out again in CIT on March 13th for the All-Ireland Schools Championships
