Laois County Senior Cross Country Championships 2019 - hosted by St. Abbans AC

Stradbally was the setting for the final leg of the Laois cross-country season, the Senior championships.  On the day of the 50th anniversary of the ladies race it was wonderful to have Mary Mulhare taking the title in style. Mary took the race out from the start, having a comfortable win in the end, super stuff once again from Mary. She was joined on the ladies team by Aisling Bohan, Anna Duggan and Maria Cuddy.     In the men’s race, Tom Lupton had a superb race, taking silver with a courageous run.  This was a massive effort by Tom, who moved up to the master’s grade this year.   Tom led the team of David Mulhare, Tony Reilly Colm Fitzgerald, Cyril Cuddy, Paul Cuddy and Donal Heaney to the silver medals also.  Well done to all.
