Club president David Cooney said: “It was good to see Niamh returning to competition after injury.

“All credit to everyone who managed to complete the course in the very testing, muddy conditions, which was not surprising given the excessive amount of rainfall in the previous 24 hours.

“There were many excellent performances.

“Many thanks to the coaches, club members and parents who supported and cheered on our athletes.

“The club should be well represented after today’s performances at the forthcoming inter- district event at Edinburgh in the new year.”
