GLENMORE REPORT 21 OCTOBER 2018
On Sunday last Glenmore hosted its annual cross country event at Bush. The juvenile program commenced at 12.00 and there was a wonderful turnout of juvenile clubs from Co Louth and neighbouring counties, north and south. Prizes were on offer for the top 10 in each age category as well as an overall prize of the Johnny Mullen Cup for the best club on the day. As expected there was a huge Glenmore contingent with many of our young athletes competing for the first time at a cross country event. There were medal winners on the day across all age categories. Zoe White and Cliodha Reilly fought out a great U9 500m with the lead changing hands between both on numerous occasions, Zoe finished 2nd with club mate Gillian Tuohy also in the medals in 6th position. Jessica White was a medal winner in the U11 800M and Elliot Nichols and Peadar Walsh also took medals in the boys 800M. Ava Ashby finshed in 8th position in the girls U13 1500m with Fionn O Reilly also taking a medal in the Boys U13 event. Lisa Conlon was 3rd in the U15 2000M with the top 3 athletes pushing each other to the end; she was followed by Ava Brady and Claudia Mullen also in medal positions. James Dunne, Gary Conway and Sean O Kane all were top 10 finishers in the boys U15 2000M. The U17 and U19 3000m ran simultaneously with Zofia Mullen taking 2nd in the U17 and Anna Mai Mullen taking gold and Katie Mallon silver in the U19. Glenmore’s Ciaran Flynn finished 3rd in the boys U17 3000m.
