Fionnuala Britton finishes an impressive 2nd at the Great Edinburgh Cross Country....Sat 10th Jan 2015

At the Great Edinburgh Cross Country event on Sat 10th Jan 2015, Fionnuala showed some of her old flair when she finished an impressive second in the womens 6km race. The eventual winner Emilia Gorecka broke away from the main group with Fionnuala in hot pursuit and in the end, both of them were well clear by the end of the race with Fionnuala only 7 seconds adrift.

One of the biggest suprises of the day was the way the current European XC champion Gemma Steel faded during the race. She has looked unbeatable in recent races so her 11th place finish was a big shock.

Irish internationals Sara Treacy of Dunboyne AC and Michelle Finn of Leevale AC were also part of the European team that finished first.
