Gold rush for Harriers at Leinster Cross Country

Published:

The Tullamore Harriers squad that braved the elements in Gowran for the Leinster Cross Country last Saturday were rewarded for their efforts.

Alongside a fantastic individual gold for James Hynes, there were team victories for the club’s U14 girls, U18 girls and U20 women’s squads.

Despite the torrential rain throughout the day, the course held up well at the Kilkenny venue. In addition to James Hynes’s win in his U14 race, there were top twelve finishes which are rewarded with individual medals for Tilly Cusack, Annabel Donegan, Heidi McCarthy, Niamh Garvey, Adelyn Walsh, Elise Cusack, Ally Duffy and Danny Rigney. Quite the medal haul for one afternoon of racing. Details on results follow below.
