Results of the Munster Senior Cross Country Championships...Sun 8th Nov 2015

The Munster Senior Cross Country Championships were held in Beaufort, Co.Kerry on what turned out to be the wettest day of the week. The numbers for a Munster competition were a bit on the low side but perhaps the weather was a factor there.

In nearly most cross country races for adults, the men always outnumber the women by quite a margin. Unusually this time round, they were almost equal. There were 33 in the mens race and 28 in the womens. Maybe it shouldn't be such a suprise considering how strong womens cross country running is in Kerry with the team from the Kingdom scoring very high nationally last year.
