Ardee & District’s Under-9 Boys were out in force this week, with Alex Callan, Tom Joe McCormack, Daniel Cirdei, Finn Osbourn and Oran Lynch all in action, and some impressive running saw Tom Joe nipped at the line for 10th place but Alex managed to take home a ninth-place medal.
Meanwhile, a few miles up the road in Co Armagh, seven of the Ardee seniors took on the Forkhill 10k challenge, namely Ben Corcoran, Shane Carroll, Brian Duff, Leo Farrell, Peter Carolan, Dave Symmons and Liam Smith.
