Liam strikes gold at the Leinster Champs

There were mixed fortunes for CorkO at yesterday's Leinster Orienteering Champs near Portlaoise. The best club result was from our Olympian Liam O'Brien, who took gold on his debut (?) run in the M60 class. The photo shows Liam fresh from his M55 victory at the Irish Middle Distance Champs in 2013 (photo credit: Pat Healy, CNOC).

In other results, Brian Corbett was just 8 seconds away from 1st place in the M50 course, and on the longest course (M21L), Darren Burke finished in 2nd place.
