This is the last of the 4 events to count in the Summer League, your last
chance to gain points - the best 3 results count.
League standings after 3 events are at http://tinyurl.com/CNOCleague.
In all classes the lead could change if runners who have only run in 2
events show up tomorrow.

On the Long course veteran Angus Tyner leads junior Jonathan Quinn, but
Gerard Butler could still take the lead if he runs.
David Masterson is leading the Medium course, but junior Cian May & veteran
Heather Wood are not far behind, and Justin May & Siobhan Delaney are in
good positions after running 2 events.
The Short course is a battle of the 10s and 12s, with Shannon Baillie just
ahead of Caoimhe May & Laoise Ryan.
Zoe Tyner is the only runner to have completed 3 Adventure courses and looks
well in the lead, though Clodagh Rea might just challenge her.
