Decent enough selection for Euro Cross next week.
The men finished 4th last year and have Keelan Kilrehil, Cormac Dalton back and a Fit, Full time pro Efram Gidey added into the mix they should do alright.
Great to see Seán Tobin back in a green vest after so many years of injury. Always one of my favourite runners. Very aggressive and really gets after it.
Great also to see both mens and womens cork County Novice Champs selected, Paul Hartnett from East Cork in the U20, and Fiona Everard in the Senior Womens. I've been saying for years County Novice is no Joke. Niamh Allen from Leevale too (although maybe not from cork I don't know) first vest at age 29 and She has a 4 or 5 month old baby. you love to see it.
Griggs in the u23 will find it a big step up. But at least he gets another tilt at his white whale Axel vang Christianson.

Jakob is back this year to take back his crown from Dr Yann. Nordas threw a strop when they picked Fillip ahead of training partner Selva so he's out and Norway look weak enough as a team.
Brits have certified animal triathlon/Mud Hopper Hugo Milner and Will Barnicoat and Zak Muhammad. very strong.
Batocletti looks a cert to take Karoline GroveDahl down.
The course looks like a building site in an industrial estate in Turkey. Pray for Rain.
