We had a fantastic turnout of athletes at the club 5km and 3km H/Cap Championships last Thursday, it was a great evening with over 60 athletes in total taking part. There were many superb performances which bodes well for the upcoming cross country season. Two standout performances in the 5km were by Matthew Daly who ran a great time coming home just inside 20 minutes and Hannah Kelly who ran a superb 20.47. First, second and third in the 5km went to Hannah Foot, Hannah Kelly and Aoife Carter.

The 3km also produced some great results with everyone running really well. Young Aaron Egan put in a great performance as too did James Foot only a week after his superb time in Meath. It was great to see Mia McEntee, Adam Craxton and Dara McGrandles being awarded with trophies coming home in first, second and third respectively.

Thank you so much to the parents who recently volunteered to help out at training. Without your assistance we would not be able to keep accepting new members. We will keep the appeal going for parental assistance: We now have 98 registered juveniles with the club and in order to maintain the smooth running of our training sessions we really need more help. You do NOT have to be a runner, all you have to do is provide encouragement and support to our young athletes. Please feel free to speak to any of our coaches about volunteering.
