Craughwell’s William Fitzgerald becomes the club’s first runner to represent an Ireland senior team at this weekend’s European Cross Country Championships (Sunday, 8th December 2024).
He'll be part of an overall 36-person squad that includes University of Galway's Fiona Everard who competes in the women's senior race the same day.
William's coach is club member Mark Davis and both of them have made the trip to Antalya, Turkey for Sunday's historic race.
Before they departed, they both caught up with Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly for a chat on 'Over The Line Friday.'
