McCarthy strides to senior success

DAVID McCARTHY (St Augustine’s, Dungarvan) made an impressive return to cross-country running with victory in the senior boys’ race at the Kit Kat Munster Schools Championships at St Augustine’s College on Saturday.

Last week he stepped up from 800m to 1,500m to defeat his schools rival, Ciarán Ó Lionaird, in a thrilling finish at the indoor international meeting in Cardiff but the Cork athlete was absent on Saturday suffering due to a virus.

They will renew rivalry at the national senior indoor championships at the Odyssey in Belfast.
