Annalee AC held on to the County Cavan Cross Country Championship trophy for the third successive year. The first two legs of the competition had produced a healthy lead for the club. However, Fionan O'Reilly followed up his second place in the Ulster Junior Race last week with a dominant performance in the Senior cross country championships as he led the senior men's race from the start and finished well clear of Martin Fulton, last year's winner to become the 2007 Senior Cross Country Champion. His race was watched by TP O'Callaghan, whose name was first on the trophy in 1962 while Brian O'Reilly of Laragh who first won the trophy 25 years ago ran in the race and finished a creditable 9th. To add to a memorable day, the Senior Ladies race was won by Louise Kiernan who had ran the Dublin Marathon on Monday last (finishing in 3hours and 05 minutes). Bailieboro AC won the Senior trophy on the day but Fionan's winning performance was then added to by the Annalee AC ladies team who finished 3rd overall. Dan Brady, a Senior competitor on the day had to pull out at a late stage of the race with a hamstring injury. Well done to all the runners who battled a hard, wet and hilly Cross Country course which proved a good challenge to the racers on the day. Photos show Fionan with the Senior Men's Trophy for 2007, Rose Marie O'Reilly accepting the 2007 Cavan Cross Country Trophy on behalf of Annalee AC and Mary Farrell, Miriam Griffin, Fionan O'Reilly and Evelyn O'Reilly, all medal winners on the day. The course can be seen winding up the hill behind. Many thanks to Bailieboro AC for their generous hospitality..

Cian O'Reilly was a superb winner of the Boys U16 Ulster Cross Country Championship race in Jordanstown on Saturday. He beat Adam Ingram, a recent AAA silver medal winner.

The Boys U12 Team of Caoimhin O'Reilly, Donal Monahan, Conor Bradley, Aodhagan Watters, Ciaran Schutten and Pauls Sexton won the Team gold medal and also formed the bulk of the County team which was placed second. Aine Brady was second in her race and had a hard fought battle but was just passed at the tape. Both 1st and 2nd finishers were given the same time. Aine led home the County U10 Girls team with Irene Rose Monahan which finished in the silver medal position. Yet another individual medal winner on the day was Fionan O'Reilly who finished in second place in the Junior Men's race (and 7th overall in the Senior mens). Clodagh O'Reilly finished 4th in her U12 race and will be eligible for the U12 again next year. Eadaoin O'Reilly also finished a close fourth in the Girls U14.
