Getting underway with the 60m we had three athletes in the final. Darragh Miniter was 4th, 16yr old James Sage 6th and Sean Carolan 7th. Sean had just run over from winning the shot putt in 13.25m. He also won the weight for distance with 7.71m. Not to be outdone our girls got in on the act with first of all two bronze medals. One by Jodie McGrath in the Pole Vault in 2.65m and then Sarah Lane dropping down a distance but showing good speed to take 3rd in the 400m with a time of 61.3sec. When the 800m came around 16yr old Ailbhe O'Neill showed that she is now a force to be reckoned with. Dominating from start to finish she went clear and beat the reigning All Ireland U16 800m champion Maeve O'Neill from Doheny in Cork by over two seconds. Ted Collins picked up the bronze in the junior mens 800m and team mate Sean Hayes was 4th in the same race. Tom McCutcheon continued his good form with 3rd in the junior 400m in 55.8 sec. Padraig Hassett was 5th in the same race in 57.02. That duo then joined up with Louis Doyle and James Sage to finish 2nd in the 4x200m relay. There was also an U11 to 16 combined event on today at the same time but results are unavailable at this time because of a very late finish time. We will get them to you tomorrow on our FB and Web page. Next Saturday we have round 1 of the national senior indoor league in Abbottstown and on Sunday the County Senior Cross Country takes place in Galbally at the earlier time of 12 pm than originally advertised.
 "How many lessons of faith and beauty we would lose if there were no winter season in our year" Thomas Wentworth Higginson. Many a person who underestimates winter conditions have paid a heavy price. Just look at arguably the greatest military General in history Napoleon Bonaparte. His lack of respect for what winter can throw at you led to his armies ultimate demise. Not so in Nenagh Olympic. We have ultimate respect for what an Irish winter can throw at you. Nenagh are the only club in Europe not linked to a university or business with their very own indoor international spec running track. Even so our endurance squad train hail, rain or shine in the CBS as unlike Napoleon we like to be prepared for our winter conditions. Being prepared stood to our squad today as it has since our first cross country race in October. We had high hopes for our U15 boys squad today and it proved to be well founded. It been a tough year for Cian Hodgins. Growing 5/6 ins in the year can lead to all types of problems and so it proved. He missed all of last years cross country season with growing pains in every joint and he was confined to the pool and bike to keep in some kind of shape. But his dedication paid off this weekend with a brilliant return to form with a 4th place finish in the cold, wet and very demanding mucky conditions of the U15 all Ireland cross country championship race in Dunboyne. His teammate Tom Walshe is never too far away and so it proved again today with Tom just one place behind Cian in 5th place. Tom is now looking very comfortable at this level and he will look forward to the upcoming indoor season. They led the Munster squad to a fine win in the provincial competition over Leinster, Tipp to the bronze in the county competition and the Nenagh squad to second in the club battle. The Nenagh squad was completed by Ben Walshe in 22nd and Thomas Bergin in 63rd who were both a year out of age. We had a very talented trio of U13 boys racing also and Diarmuid Moloney was our first home in 11th position with a strong second half of the race. Behind Diarmuid in 16th position was Kevin Finn. Kevin is inexperienced at this level and struggled at the start but got into his stride on the second lap and passed 28 athletes to come home in 16th position. The final member of our trio was Ruairí Walshe who like Kevin was running a year out of age but he can be very pleased with his 48th place finish. Our only girl running this weekend was Jennifer O'Leary running in her first All Ireland cross country race and she also can be very satisfied with finishing 50th of the 130 U13 girls. Jennifer is an Irish Dancing star also and it shows with her lovely running style. The upcoming indoor season will surely show Jen's dancing feet off to perfect effect. And so another cross country season ends. It ends as it started with a profound love of the sport. Our endeavours are always rewarded. Not always with medals, sometimes just with memories and friendships that will last a lifetime and transcend mountains, oceans and even time itself. So what are you waiting for put on those runners and get out to your local club or park run. Memories await.  On A fine crisp 1st December we had one of our quieter cross country outings. This weekend we had Munster B championships in Two Mile Borris and we had only 3 athletes competing but the results showed we continue to make huge progress. George O'Leary continues to impress and in the U17 race he went to the front with a Waterford athlete and showed great composure racing against more experienced competitors and finished in a fine second position which will surely spur him on to greater things. His teammate Shaun Himli also ran well to finish 8th and well done to these two friends and colleagues. Our only other athlete on the day was David Sheahan in the Senior intermediate race. David running as part of the Tipperary team ran very strongly and finished 8th overall and 4th Tipp man home. Tipperary easily took the county honors and David should be well pleased with his very strong showing. So another good day for our athletes and we now look forward to two weeks time in Dunboyne for the All Ireland uneven ages cross country championships which will finish the cross country for the year.
