The first cross country race of the season took place on Sunday 25 September. It was a great day for running and a huge crowd gathered in Armagh. Many clubs were represented and travelled to this prestigious event, as far north as North Down and as far south as Dunleer.
Our junior harriers had a great day’s running and took part in events from U9 right up to U18. There are some great photos posted to the parents’ whatsapp group but special mention has to go to Isaac Mooney U9 and Isla Wiltshire U13 who came back with silverware (4th and 6th respectively). Well done to them both and to all the kids who ran. Official results are not out yet, unfortunately.
Isaac Mooney (U9) – delighted with his trophy after a great run

Congratulations to all the kids who ran in the 2K Junior Parkrun. New PBs for Tom McLaughlin and Jack O’Neill – brilliant running.
Best of luck to our 3 U13s (Cormac Leheny, Thomas Coy and Alex Reid) who are off to London on Friday for the London Mini Marathon. The Mall is being closed especially so these lads can race.
Reminder to sign up for the Bobby Rea Cross Country on 22 October. We need as many juniors as possible:
