Brian Fay encased a silver lining around Abbotstown as he took second place in the National senior cross country championship.<\/span><\/p>\n

On real cross country course Fay excelled in the second half to finish well clear of pre-race favourite Sean Tobin and take silver behind a brilliant cross country running performance from Tullamore Harriers Liam Brady.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fay is still under-23 and his second place secured the U-23 gold medal and poses a couple of questions to the selectors on whether to include Fay in the senior or U-23 for next month\u2019s European cross country.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fay\u2019s silver medal led the team home to bronze, who were without Conor Dooney while defending champion Kevin Dooney took the start line however had missed a very chunck of his pre-season training.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ever reliant Mick Clohisey came home in 10th<\/span><\/sup> place with Cillian Kirwan finishing 42nd<\/span><\/sup> and Daire Bermingham 71st<\/span><\/sup> for a total of 125 points. Clonliffe won out with 52, whie DSD took silver with 88 points.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other Raheny athletes who performance in the national senior were Des Kenedy 100th<\/span><\/sup>, John Dunne 102nd<\/span><\/sup>, Robert Frewen 103rd<\/span><\/sup>, Ian McConkey 125st, Stephen Butler 126th<\/span><\/sup> and Graham O\u2019Dwyer 151st<\/span><\/sup>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Iseult O\u2019Donnell was first Raheny woman home in the senior women\u2019s race taking 37th<\/span><\/sup> place with Niamh Corbett 54th<\/span><\/sup> and Blaithin Sheil 54th<\/span><\/sup> and Lucy Barrett 63rd as the women\u2019s team finished sixth with 211 points. Aoibhinn McGoldrick was the non-scoring team member in 65th<\/span><\/sup> place.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leevale took gold with 120 points.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the junior men\u2019s race Daniel Stone produced an excellent run to take eighth place. Adam Condon took 38th<\/span><\/sup> place with Luke Murphy 77th<\/span><\/sup> and Dara Macriocaird finishing 111th<\/span><\/sup> as the team took ninth place. Sean Flynn was the team\u2019s non-scoring member in 120th<\/span><\/sup> place.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the junior women\u2019s race Triona NicDhonaill finished 47th<\/span><\/sup>.<\/span><\/p>\n

On what feels like a disappointing day, an individual national silver medal and a team bronze is a very good return and there is still more to come in this men\u2019s team.<\/span><\/p>\n

The final Cross Country championship of 2010\u2019s means the club landed four national club titles. The Women\u2019s title in 2013 and men\u2019s in 2016\/17\/18. As well as two junior men’s titles.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Mick Clohisey (three times) and Kevin Dooney landed the individual men\u2019s title.<\/span><\/p>\n

The future remains very bright, one life, one club.<\/span><\/p>\n
