Last year’s Brother At Your Side Clonliffe Schools Cross Country was an outstanding success and was highly acclaimed by the schools taking part. The event was held in fine autumnal sunshine in the superb surroundings of Santry Demesne Parkland, the venue for the 2009 European Cross Country, with some 1,000 young athletes from all over Leinster participating.
With Clonliffe currently celebrating 125 years since the Club’s founding Clonliffe and Brother aim to make the 2011 Brother At Your Side Clonliffe Schools Cross Country the best to date.
