Winning team New year’s Day 5k

Great running from Pierre Murchan today finishing 3rd in his first race in six months at the Tom Brennan memorial 5k road race in the Phoenix Park. Hopefully he can build on this great start to 2019 and get back to top form. Cliona Murphy had a great run finishing 4th in the women’s race and led her team of Susie McManus and Edel McNamara to first place in the team race. Dave Gogarty was very happy with his run doing a faster time than last year. Well done everyone! Photos to follow.

News arrived this week that two of our young athletes have been nominated as the Dublin juvenile athletics stars for 2018 and will be presented with their award at the Leinster star awards dinner in Tullamore on Saturday, the 5th of January. Congratulations to Alison Burke on winning the girls award and to Sean Donoghue who wins the boys award for the second successive year. It’s a great honour for the club and our volunteer coaches to win both awards.

The star awards are presented to recognise and appreciate the high achievements and hard work by both athletes during the year. Well done. We are all very proud of you both.
