Victories for Fionnuala McCormack and Mick Clohisey GloHealth Inter Club Cross Country Championships in Santry Demesne

Fionnuala McCormack and Mick Clohisey stormed to individual victories at the GloHealth Inter Club Cross Country Championships in Santry Demesne yesterday as Lizzie Lee led Leevale to a maiden team crown.

The senior women’s race was one that whetted the appetite with a top class field and with the uncertainty of the form of Kilcoole AC’s McCormack after her 2:33:15 marathon in Chicago last month.

The start of the 8,000m affair was a cagey one with the diminutive McCormack nestled in the leading pack led by the effervescent Lee.
