Danny was rewarded with a brilliant bronze medal at today’s All-Ireland U12 Cross-Country Championships in a very muddy Gowran in Kilkenny.
Danny took the lead from the gun and set a fast pace in early stages. This broke up the field quickly and at the halfway mark the major medals were down to just five athletes. A break by the Moy Valley spread the field even more as the athletes entered the final winding section of the course.
A big battle over the final stages saw Danny just hold off the Sligo athletes to finish in 3rd individual. Considering there were 167 of the best young athletes in Ireland competing, this was a great performance.
Danny also led home the Dublin County team which finished 2nd in the County team race.
