UPDATE 6th October:

URGENT ... URGENT ... URGENT

Everyone is eagerly looking forward to the Leinster Cross Country Championships in a few weeks time, but ... but... but we still have no venues confirmed.

We're appealing to all Clubs and County Boards in Leinster to do their utmost to identify and propose venues, as a matter of urgency.

If we have no venues, there will be no Leinster Cross Country this year.

Please contact Greg Duggan (Leinster Cross Country Secretary) at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you wish to discuss possible venues or seek clarification on what is involved or required.

It's in your hands!
