Albert just keeps on winning

Kilcullen man Albert Keenan carried his recent Kildare County cross country victory to the Leinster and National stages over the past few weekends.

In very testing conditions last Sunday in Avondale, Co Wicklow, Albert took the runner up spot in the Leinster masters cross country finals to claim another Leinster silver medal. Just two weeks prior, Albert ran a fantastic race in the Autumn Open Cross Country in Dublin's Phoenix park just getting pipped to 5th overall in his age category. As a result Albert is now first reserve for the Irish team who compete in the UK in an international competition in November.

Fingers crossed he gets his chance to wear the Irish singlet in the Irish masters team as his recent form and superb efforts certainly warrant a call up to represent his country. Best of luck Albert.
