Sligo's Keelan Kilrehill wins national cross country title

Dromore West's Keelan Kilrehill produced a stunning run on Sunday to win the senior men's race a the 123.ie National Cross Country Champinoships at the Castle Irvine Estate in Fermangh.

Kilrehill, running in the singlet of Moy Valley Athletic Club (Ballina) pulled clear of the field in the second half of the race to win in some style, with Niall Murphy (Ennis Track AC) taking silver.

It's Kilrehill's first national senior cross country title - and it means he will lead the Ireland team into December's European Cross Country Championships in Turkey.
