Irish Junior Men Victorious in Belgium
8 November 2004
Mark Christie lead the Irish squad
to an emphatic victory in the junior international cross country in
Ghent on Sunday and boosted the team's prospects for the forthcoming
European championships in December in Helsingdorf, Germany.
After a tough battle with Danny
Darcy, who made such an outstanding breakthrough on the track during
the summer, Christie emerged victorious. Darcy was a close 2nd and
the team's strength was emphasised with Joe Sweeney in 4th and Jamie
McCarthy 5th. Andrew Ledwith completed the team score in 10th place.
The women's race saw Maria
McCambridge finish in 3rd place having been narrowly edged out for
2nd. Fionnuala Britton also ran well for 9th position.
