Connacht Cross Country: 1st November 2009
Sligo AC's Under age groups, Seniors and Veterans all turned out in good numbers for this seasons Connacht Cross Country held in Ballinamore, Co. Leitrim. Conditions could only be described as dire as all competitors took to the muddy, waterlogged course whilst being pelted intermittently with sheets of rain. However the mud definitely suited some more than others as Caelinn McGonigle, Sarah McGeough, Nicola Mc Goldrick and Anna Reddin all performed at a high level in their respective categories. James McGeough, Killian O'Connor, Neil Higgins, Ross McLynn & Michael O'Connell also fared well individually although it should be pointed out that all athletes, male & female, junior & senior, who took part should be commended on battling through the tough circuit.

I would like to say well done to all runners who completed their races on sunday. After the first 300 meters i had a strong desire to step off the course. WE all expect mud when it comes to cross country, however wading ankle deep in muck through a waterlogged course which looked like it had been recently trampled by a herd of angry cattle was, in my view, a little too extreme. When athletes turn up for a race we should at least be able to run!
