We had 43 athletes in action today at the 3rd race of the cross country series. Great to see the consistant training paying off with very good results in lots of age groups.Most impressive performers today were Felix, Lia, Alex, Ada, Aobh, Katie Harrold,Antonia and Antoniette (despite heavy falls at the start), Clare O Connor and Clare Murphy, Anna, Chloe, Ella Mae and Dora in the under 14 races, Sean Donoghue, Oscar,Evan and Katie Hanna. Well done to everyone who represented the club, you were all great and the coaches are really proud of you. Thanks to Jane, Edel and Pauline for helping with the finish and the numbers. Next weekend will be a training weekend and the following Sunday we will have the Dublin Even age championships on the same course as today.
The Novice Race
When all the younger athletes had gone home our older girls ran in the Dublin Novice race. Niamh Donnelly ran a terrific race to finish 2nd and she led her team of Sinead Cronin, Aislinn Moorehouse, Aoife Ni Bhroin and Heather Lougheed to first place in the team event. This was a fantastic achievement for the girls and a proud day for Mary, Ian and Dermot to see a team we have nurtured for over 10 years (in some cases) win a Dublin Novice championship. Lots of happy parents and supporters in the Park today. We will have photos up on site later. Happy Days!
