Morton Games
At the Morton Games in Santry Catherine McManus had a great start in the womens 100m but unfortunately her hamstring injury recurred and she had to pull up. This was a hugh disapointment for Catherine as she had absolutely no warning in advance. Such a shame for our two star sprinters Steffi and Catherine to be forced to end their seasons like this but they will no doubt be back in full training as soon as they can. Otherwise the meeting in Santry was amazing, the races were so exciting, weather was perfect and a very and a big supportive turnout of spectators. All our gang who were there really enjoyed the night.
Big Kids Races
Meanwhile the big kids leagues contiued last week with 800m races in Santry. Danny ran a personal best in his race, Cliona Murphy improved on her time from the previous weekend by 4 seconds, Sinead and Clare wernt too happy with their races. In Santry on Sunday in very breezy conditions Sinead and Danny ran in the 1500m and 800m respectively, Catherine McManus won her 100m in fine style and hoped that would signal her recovery from her hamstring troubles but the Morton meet put an end to that.
