Britton: Room to improve

Fionnuala Britton triumphed in convincing fashion at the Woodie’s DIY National Inter-County Cross-Country championships at Santry Demesne yesterday, while Paul Pollock dominated the men’s race and declared himself a contender for the European championships in December.

“I’m happy with that,” said Britton, who took control from the gun of the women’s 8,000m race to win in 26:05.

Sarah McCormack finished second in 27:07 with Sara Treacy third in 27:15.
