Comber Cross Country
All roads lead to Comber next Sunday with almost 100 Stags due to compete and nearly half of those from the junior section. Fantastic to see these levels of participation right across every age group.
The top 4 teams secure automatic qualification to the All-Irelands so its really important for our juniors to keep going right to the finish line as their finishing position will contribute to the overall team result.
The table below shows the spread of runners in each race by club. With every county in Ulster represented it’s going to be busy so we highly recommend arriving in good time so we can ensure everyone gets their race bib and a good warm up before their race starts.
