2022 (2021) Intermediate and Juvenile B

Neither predicative algorithms or crystal balls could have anticipated the intensity of the competition at the county intermediate and B championships in Graiguenamanagh on Sunday. Coming into the competition, there were four clubs in contention for the top club, after the ladies race it was down to two, St Josephs AC and Thomastown. The ladies race saw Thomastown take the 1st and 3rd team with Hannah Kehoe the individual winner.The local club Barrow Harriers, as usual had a well laid out course. The mild winter weather ensured that the underfoot conditions were excellent. Our cross country runners have been totally spoiled this past winter with the mild winter providing us with a virtual carpet to run on. Perched high on the hills overlooking the Barrow Valley, ensure there were a few steep hills that all athletes remember and some downhills that no athlete seems to recall. Throughout the mens race, the outcome had the officials guessing. At the top of the hill it looked like it was going to be a Thomastown victory, by the time the athletes reached the bottom, it seemed St Josephs might take the cup home. In the end it was Padraig Ruane who took the individual title and KCH the winning team.The overall cup went to St Josephs AC. A hard fought battle all the way.
