Report on Dublin Novice and Even Age Cross Country Championships, Phoenix Park, Sunday 12th October 2025.
What a great day the McCreery family had in the Phoenix Park on 12th October when Edel won the women’s Dublin Novice Cross Country title over the 4,000m course, in style over the last lap to claim the 2025 Dublin Novice cross country title. In the Men’s race over 6,000m Ryan O'Neill came second to claim the silver medal as he picked up several runners over the last lap. Both Edel and Ryan have come up through our juvenile ranks, and it’s amazing to see them shine at senior level. Massive congrats to them and their coaches — your hard work is paying off! Other Club finishers in the women’s race were Grainne Black, Sophie McGrath, Laura Mills, Amy Cooke, Sarah- Anne Murphy, Clare Shiels and Catherine Kelly. The women’s team finished 4th out of 10. In the men’s race other Club finishers were Jared Murray, Kieran Alyward, Richie Doran, Sean McCreery and Richard Deeney. The men’s team finished 7th out of 13 teams. Full results are on the Myrunresults website at https://www.myrunresults.com/events/dublin_novice_xc_/5909/results. Well done to all.
There was also a huge turnout of all our juvenile athletes at the Dublin Even Age Cross Country Championships in the Phoenix Park. We’re so proud of every single runner. The full results will be shared as soon as they come in. A special congratulations to all those who’ve qualified for the National Even Age Cross Country Championships in Derry on Sunday, November 23rd.
