Magnificent Kevin Mulcaire makes it four titles in a row

Kevin Mulcaire was a class apart defending his senior boys’ title at the GloHealth All-Ireland Schools Cross-Country Championships in Sligo Racecourse on Saturday.

Mulcaire’s (St Flannan’s Ennis) win over 6,500m made it four titles in a row, having won the intermediate title on the double in 2013 and 2014.

Wearing a white baseball cap back-to-front, the Clare schoolboy bided his time in the opening stages as he sounded out the field and got to grips with the biting cold and the terrain of a truly testing cross-country course.
