Wicklow Masters XC 2024
Wicklow Masters XC Race Report 
After a frosty start, the sun shone brightly on Shanganagh for Sunday’s Wicklow Masters XC Champs.
Event and club participation records were broken, with a big turnout and a great atmosphere created around the looped course in the park, our athletes looked to impress under the watchful eye of coach Bobby Mitchell who was in attendance.
