Poor turnout for Munster Senior Cross Country - Sun 10th Nov 2019

Just catching on some previous results. This years Munster Senior Cross Country Championships were held in Conna in NE Cork on Sunday the 17th of November 2019.

The results can be found HERE

The numbers look to be even worse than recent years with just 3 out of the 6 Munster counties represented in the inter-county competition in both the mens and womens events. The 3 counties were Cork, Tipperary and Clare.

This essentially meant that county teams were getting medals for turning up.

This is the same situation as it was for the Novice competition in Limerick in October. Just 3 out of 6 counties made up the inter county teams then as well (61 men & 35 women).

In the Senior inter club competition, there was just 7 men's teams from 53 runners. In the women's race, there were just 28 runners and 5 women's teams... and that's from all of Munster.
