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

With defending champion Tommy Connolly (CBC, Cork) giving cross-country a miss in favour of indoor competition, it was Paul Hartnett (Colaiste an Chraoibhin) who set the early pace ahead of Frank O’Brien (Midleton CBS), winner of the South Munster title two weeks ago.
