Inter-Counties XC Championships 2026
Superb running by our younger runners saw the County take the U15 Boys Title and 2nd place in the U13 Girls with Sophia Davies winning individual bronze. County U15 Boys Champion Luis Da Silva won the Inter-Counties title with a commanding run.
The Senior Women were 7th while the Senior Men were 19th.
Well done to all the athletes, team managers and parents for the efforts.
