The new athletic season gets under way on Sunday with the staging of the Leinster Junior and Senior cross-country championships in Kilmacow.

Boys and girls gathered in great numbers for the even-ages Juvenile B cross-country championships at a sun-drenched Kilmacow course on Sunday. The hard-working members of host club, St Senan’s, marshalled a well laid out course and with Ed Williams on the whistle there was no letup from start to finish. Kilkenny City Harriers (KCH), winners of the A Championships last month were again out in force and were very much to the fore, particularly in the girls’ races. The Castlecomer club were strong in the boys’ races.

In front of 11 thousand supporters at sunny Nowlan Park on Sunday last Dicksboro were crowned Minor County champions.
