Ireland to send team of 39 athletes to European Cross Country Championships

Ireland will send a team of 39 athletes to next month's European Cross Country Championships in Tilburg.

Ciara Mageean and Kevin Dooney will lead the women's and men's sides following respective wins in this past weekend's National Cross Country Championships in Abbotstown.

They'll lead their respective teams of six on December 9.

High Performance Director Paul McNamara said: “We’re excited about this team’s prospects for Tilburg, both in terms of making an impact here and now, but also as it’s an important stepping stone on the road to Abbottstown 2020.

“This season has demonstrated improved depth and quality in the under age categories, and as a result we’ve selected both U23 teams for the first time since 2014. Both U20 teams look strong and can certainly build on their solid showing in Slovakia last year.

“Some of our leading senior women are unavailable but the selected team has a lot of experience and ability and will look to make an impact, while the senior men will look to build on a very positive result last year. The mixed relay is an exciting addition to the squad and should be capable of adding some value to Team Ireland’s prospects”
