County Uneven Age & Intermediate Cross Country 2026🎖️
After the success of last week's races, expectations were high for this weekend's County Uneven age & Intermediate Championships, and it did not disappoint. Hosted excellently by Dualla Ballytarsna Boherlann AC, athletes descended on Ardmayle to contend for county medals. Moyne AC were represented brilliantly with many individual and team medals earned by our crew.

Moyne AC had a super start to the juvenile races with Nell Corbett winning the gold medal in the girls under 9 race. A brilliant achievement for the young athlete. She was followed home by teammate Cara O Donovan in 12th, Faye Lloyd in 21st, Anna Shortall in 30th, Ellen Prout in 34th and Sophie O Brien in 37th. The girls team was just shy of the medals coming in 4th overall. In the boys Under 9, Edward Kavanagh was our first athlete to cross the finishing line coming in 20th place. Jeremiah Shanahan came in shortly after in 25th , with Fionn Dunphy in 33rd. Well done boys!

Moving to our girls under 11 where, once again, the ladies in the green and gold were out in force. Three girls finished in the top 10 and earned individual medals for themselves including Aoife Costigan in 4th, Ella O Donovan in 5th and Harriet Ely in 9th. Their teammates also put in super performances with Eilis Shanahan finishing 25th, Kate Woods 26th, Julianne Manton 29th, Emma Gleeson 31st, Caoimhe Quinlan 33rd, Eabha Farrel 34th, Evie Lloyd 36th, Aisling Costigan 41st ,Molly Dempsey 53rd, Jane Meade 65th, Kate Roe 79th, Molly Hackett 81st and Ava Kate O Brien in 83rd .The girls won a silver medal in the very competitive team competition. How wonderful to see three other Moyne teams in the competition coming in 5th , 12th and 19th . Well done girls on your hard efforts! In the boys under 11 James Kennedy ran a brilliant race to finish 13th. Jim Shanahan worked hard to finish 3 places behind in 16th, with William Ely in 26th and Pierce Butler in 39th. The boys team finished in 5th place overall, a great effort.

Poppy Shanahan continued her dominant form, winning the Girls U13 race. She was well supported by teammate Meadhbh Hall in 5th, Kate O Dwyer in 10th, Annie Ely in 12th, Faye Corbett in 19th,Orlaith Costigan in 21st and Quinn Corbett in 22nd . The girls secured brilliant team gold medals for their efforts, a super achievement. In the boys under 13, Tom Esmonde was the only Moyne AC finisher, crossing the line in a great 26th place. In the boys under 15 we saw Danann Sweeney run a great race amongst a competitive field to finish in 12th place. In the girls U 17 race, Magdalena Luc won a brilliant bronze medal in a very competitive race. A super result. We send best wishes to her teammate Caoimhe Slevin who was unable to finish due to injury. Moving onto the girls U19, where we had Bibi Russell and Mairead Duggan finish in 4th and 5th respectively. Brilliant races by both girls and we look forward to more action from them in the season ahead!

In the Intermediate Championships, we once saw great fields in both the ladies and men's races. The ladies faced a 5km route and we had two representing the green and gold. First home was Lisa Quinlan in 8th place, another super run from Lisa who is going from strength to strength. Michelle Dunphy continued to excell in her debut season, finishing 17th overall. Well done ladies!In the men's race we saw a fast pace pursued by the leading pack. P***e Bowe stuck to his pace well and finished in a great 27th place. John Renehan followed closely in 29th, with John Fitzgerald continuing his fine form to finish 32nd. Well done on great races!

A huge thank you to DBB AC for hosting, Tipperary Athletics and all the volunteers for the day. We can now turn our focus to next weekend where all roads lead to Dublin for the National Relays and Autumn Open Cross Country.
