Irene Clements has been named in the W65 Irish team for the British and Irish Masters Cross Country Championships, which take place in Abbotstown on Saturday.

The Fermanagh athlete's selection follows a series of recent performances across road and cross country events.

At the Dingle Half Marathon, Clements won her age category and finished eighth overall among female entrants in a time of 1:35:05.

She also competed at the Zagreb Marathon, which incorporated the World Masters Marathon Championships. After a steady start, Clements moved ahead of her closest age-category rival by halfway and extended her lead to 30 seconds by the 18-mile mark. She went on to win the world title in her category. In the same period, she completed two marathons in under three hours and 30 minutes within a fortnight.

Clements also contributed to a team silver medal in the F55 category alongside Mary Slocum and Anne Marie Bose.

In July, she won the Women's Over-65 category at the Irish National 5-Mile Championships in Dublin's Phoenix Park, finishing in 33 minutes and 28 seconds.

Clements' selection adds another international appearance to her recent achievements.
