Well done to Eimear O’Sullivan (St Brendan’s AC) who won the Kerry Athletics county junior cross country championship title in Firies on Sunday. Eimear was competing at junior cross country level for the first time and was very impressive over a testing course. That is her third weekend in a row finishing in a medal position at county level.
