February 13th East Cork AC successfully defended their Munster Senior mens Cross Country title in Kilnaboy Co. Clare today. On a day that saw all four seasons present, an impressive run by Sean McGrath saw him finish in second place behind Sean Hehir of Rathfarnam & Clare with James McCarthy taking the bronze medal. Diarmuid Collins took the third place on the team, but it was the battle for the 4th spot that captured the imagination of the small but enthusiastic crowd present. Eric Meade & Denis McCarthy turned back the clock as they waged battle on each other through sunshine, cow dung and hailstones. In the end it was Eric who prevailed but the gutsy performance of both men left many young pretenders in their wake. As they travelled together their clubmates would interested to know what the conversation was like on the long journey back to East Cork!
