Kilfinane Athletics Club made their debut in the Limerick Novice Cross Country Championships at Bilboa A.C.'s grounds in East Limerick last Sunday the 27/09/2009.
In this historic first race for the club not much was expected with regard to finishing in the medal positions.
However from the off Terry O'Brien commanded a strong position within the leading group and finished in third place to win the bronze medal and the first hopefully of many for the club in the future. Vincent O'Donnell finished in 7th place with Pat O'Sullivan finishing in 10th position.
Congratulations to all the athletes and best of luck for the remainder of the season.
There are a number of upcoming races in the coming months most notably the Intermediate Cross Country Championships at the University of Limerick on the 11th October and the Senior Cross Country Championships on the 1st of November where Kilfinane A.C. shall host the event.
Anybody interested in joining the club or competing in the upcoming events should contact Club Secretary Pat O'Sullivan at 087-7592963. Condolences.
