TALENTED teenage Ayr Seaforth U15 athlete Rosie Davidson last weekend helped secure success for her country at a top event.

She competed for Team Scotland in this year's Celtic Cross Country Championships which took place at Greenmount Campus, Antrim, Northern Ireland.

The event was integrated into the latest leg of the British Cross Country Challenge with international teams representing Ireland, Northern Ireland and Ulster, Wales and Scotland competing alongside many club athletes running individually in their respective age group races.

Rosie was selected after her excellent silver medal run at the West District Cross Country Championships which took place at Irvine last month.

With there being no U15 age group for the international teams Rosie was selected for the U17 age group which meant a step-up in competition for her which she took in her stride. After a tough 3600m race with the U17 and U20 women running together, Rosie came home as seventh U17 in a time of 15.05, with the Scottish U17 team taking first place. Congratulations to Rosie from all at Ayr Seaforth.
