League 2 plus Dublin Novice update

Thirty eight of our younger athletes represented the club in glorious sunshine at league 2 in the Phoenix Park this morning. Well done to everyone who represented the club and a big thank you to the parents who brought out the athletes and supported everyone.

Big improvements all round this week with the training starting to show results. Our standout performers and winners today were Sean Donoghue, Caolan Collins and Dora Medgyesy. Others who were impressive today were Sara Byrne, Shona Gogarty, Aotoniette, Antonia, Finn Mc Auley, Clare Murphy, Lia Butler Lynch, Aoibh Collins, Anna Petit, Claire O Connor, Kacey Tully, Ronan Kilbride Conlon, Ben Casey and Evan Mc Millan. Keep it up!

In the Novice womens race Alison Armstrong went into an early lead pulling three athletes along with her. The four of them ran away from the rest of the field with Alison bravely battling it out. Over the final k of the 4k race the other three pulled away and Alison finished a fine 4th. This was a great result for Alison in her first outing this season. Cliona Murphy and Edel McNamara also ran in the Novice race with final placings not available yet.
