The Tipperary Uneven Age Cross Country Championships were held in Moyglass and Nenagh Olympic athletes did very well. The course was dry but had several long drags and the strong wind made running conditions tough. We finished the day with a host of individual medals as well as a team gold and three county champions.

This was the first event of the day and Christine Percy was our sole participant. She had a super run to finish in 4th place over the 600m course.

Boys U9
