LEINSTER CROSS COUNTRY EVEN AGE CHAMPIONSHIPS
If Hollywood were writing the script, they couldn’t have dreamed up a bank holiday Saturday quite like this…
Storm Boelo swept across the course at Gowran AC, with gale-force winds turning the running fields into a battleground and testing every ounce of strength, courage and determination.
But while the storm tried to steal the show, the athletes of Dundalk St Gerard’s AC had other ideas!
🏃♀️ GIRLS U14 – TEAM CHAMPIONS! 🥇
Just twelve months ago, Ella Duffy was facing the challenge of recovering from a fractured pelvis.
A long road back, countless hurdles and a return to competitive running that required enormous patience, resilience and determination.
She didn’t just make it to the start line. She delivered a phenomenal performance, crossing the finish line in 26th place individually and earning a crucial scoring spot on the Louth County Team.
And the ending? Pure magic!
🏆🥇 LOUTH GIRLS U14 – LEINSTER TEAM GOLD!
Ella, your coaches are incredibly proud of you. What a comeback.
What a performance.
What a moment! ❤️
And the fantastic news doesn’t stop there! Lucy Molloy also showed tremendous character after battling an illness in the lead-up to the championships. Despite a difficult week, Lucy made the journey and gave everything she had, fighting through the brutal conditions to finish a strong 48th.
That is commitment, courage and club spirit in action.
Both Ella and Lucy have now qualified for the Louth team heading to the All-Ireland Cross Country Even Age Championships later in November! 🇮🇪
Two brilliant athletes, two fantastic performances and another exciting challenge to look forward to!
We know there is plenty more to come from both girls!
🏃♀️ GIRLS U16
Lily Rogers stepped onto the championship stage and produced a superb performance, stepping up I age to the Girls U16 race.
Battling a relentless headwind that seemed determined to push every athlete backwards, Lily dug deep to secure an outstanding 19th place individually.
Her performance earned her a scoring spot on the Louth County Team, helping the girls secure an excellent 5th place overall in Leinster.
A brilliant run from Lily, showing the grit, determination and fighting spirit that define DSG athletes! ❤️🤍
🏃♂️ BOYS U18 – LOUTH STORM THEIR WAY TO SILVER! 🥈
As the competition moved into the older age groups, our lads stepped into the spotlight and delivered two terrific performances.
Aaron Duffy led the Dundalk St Gerard’s charge, powering through the conditions to finish 28th in 18:04. Close behind, Cillian McKevitt dug deep into the wind and battled his way to 48th in 19:21.
Two determined performances.
Two athletes refusing to back down.
Both Aaron and Cillian earned scoring places on the Louth U18 County Team, helping the Wee County secure a fantastic 2nd place overall in Leinster!
🥈 LOUTH BOYS U18 – LEINSTER TEAM SILVER!
And there is more to celebrate!
Aaron and Cillian have both qualified for the Louth team heading to the All-Ireland Cross Country Even Age Championships later in November! 🇮🇪
An outstanding achievement for both lads, and we look forward to seeing them take on the next challenge!
🏃♀️ GIRLS U18
Rounding out our squad was Anna Duffy, who faced the full force of Storm Boelo in the Girls U18 race.
With the wind battering the course and every step demanding something extra, Anna showed tremendous resilience to secure an excellent 18th place in a gross time of 20:52.
A superb championship performance and a fitting finale to a day that demanded so much from every athlete who took to the start line.
❤️🤍 MORE THAN MEDALS ❤️🤍
Cross country has a way of revealing what athletes are made of. It strips everything back to hard work, resilience, determination and the willingness to keep going when conditions get tough.
And on a day when Storm Boelo threw everything it had at them, our athletes showed all of that and more!
They battled the wind.
They represented their club.
They scored points for their county.
They helped bring home Leinster team gold and silver medals, and they celebrated achievements built on countless hours of training.
And for our coaching team, that is what makes weekends like this so special. Seeing young athletes grow in confidence, overcome setbacks, support one another and wear the red and white singlet with pride is what this club is all about.
To Lily, Lucy, Ella, Aaron, Cillian and Anna — congratulations on your performances. You took on Storm Boelo and gave us a weekend to remember!
A huge well done, too, to the Louth county teams and all the athletes, coaches and parents whose commitment makes these experiences possible.
The weather may have brought the drama, but our athletes wrote the story. ❤️🤍
THE STORM WILL PASS, AND THE MEMORIES WILL LAST! 🌪️❤️🤍

☀️ DARVER DELIVERS A CROSS COUNTRY DAY TO REMEMBER! 🏃♀️🏃♂️
Darver in October is usually known for its windy, cold and challenging conditions — sometimes it feels like one of the coldest places on Earth! 🌬️🥶 But yesterday, Sunday October 12th the sun came out to play, and the conditions were absolutely incredible for a fantastic day of cross country running! ☀️👏
A huge congratulations to all our athletes representing Dundalk St. Gerard’s AC, from our youngest Under-8s right through all the age groups and up to our senior(citizen) athletes. ❤️🤍
You often hear that cross country racing builds resilience and character, and after competing myself yesterday, that really hit home. There’s something special about cross country racing — how challenging it can be, how much it asks of you, and just how rewarding it feels to cross that finish line.
Whether it’s finishing a tough race, earning a team medal or stepping onto the podium, every achievement means something. Behind those moments are the weeks and months of training, the early mornings, the tough sessions and the commitment to keep showing up, week in and week out. Those medals and finish-line smiles are a true reflection of all that hard work. 💪🏃
It was also brilliant to see so many athletes giving it their all, supporting one another and enjoying their running. As was mentioned over the microphone yesterday, it’s particularly fantastic to see our athletes proudly representing their club, wearing the club colours with pride and, most importantly, doing it all with smiles on their faces.
That’s what club athletics is all about!
Huge thank you to Saint Peters Athletic Club for putting on a great day.
And a massive thank you to all the parents and families who brought the kids along, supported from the sidelines and gave up their Sunday to make these events possible.
Your support means so much to the club. 👏
📸 Pictures below from the day, so please give them a like, tag yourselves and tag the parents who might spot their young athletes in action!
Yesterday marked the penultimate cross country event of the year, and with the winter months approaching, we look forward to the indoor season and the return of more cross country in January 2027.
Enjoy the winter training, keep working hard, keep supporting each other, and most importantly, keep enjoying your athletics!
Well done, everyone. You did the club proud! ❤️🤍

🏃♂️ Louth Even Age Cross Country Championships
Another fantastic day for Dundalk St Gerard’s AC in Bellurgan Park.
We had athletes from age 6 and 7 all the way up to our cross country coach and club stalwart Pete whose age is a mystery.
Our athletes gave it everything on a tough course, showing great determination, team spirit and plenty of fighting spirit from the start line right through to the finish. ❤️🤍
Great to see so many kids out racing and having fun !!
A massive well done to every one of our athletes who pulled on the red and white bib and represented the club so proudly.
And, as always, a huge thank you to all our parents. 👏 Your time, travelling, early starts, encouragement around the course and continued support make these days possible.
The club simply couldn’t do it without you.
A big thank you also to Glenmore AC and Athletics Louth for hosting a brilliant day’s racing.
