FIONNUALA BRITTON PRODUCED a strong run in her first event of 2015 as she finished second at the Great Edinburgh Cross Country this afternoon.
Britton finished behind Great Britain’s Emilia Gorecka in the 6km race through Holyrod Park but guided Europe to victory in the team event.
The 30-year-old set the pace for much of the race and led the breakaway group before Gorecka rallied in the final stages to break the tape in a time of 21 minutes and 26 seconds, six seconds ahead of Britton.
Sara Treacy and Michelle Finn finished 16th and 22nd respectively.
Meanwhile, Danny Mooney and Maria McCambridge finished a disappointing 8th in the novel mixed 2 x 1km cross country relay in a time of seven minutes.

Cork are on the way back. Big future ahead!
Cork minor hurling teams have been vg and maybe a tad unlucky over the last few years.This crop looks decent but it will take a huge effort again to get over Clare with only a six day turn around, its alot to ask minors but this bunch have shown alot of nerve and determination to get their and will hardly go down without a fight.
