After finishing third last year, Oisin Spillane of Mercy Mount Hawk, Tralee, proved to be the strongest over a testing 6000m course at the Irish Life Health/Munster Schools Cross-Country.

Despite having to miss a number of recent races due to illness, Sean Tobin showed he is getting back into top form with an easy victory at the Aviva/Munster Schools Cross-Country at the WIT complex on the outskirts of Waterford city yesterday.
