We had a very busy day at the great Ireland run and in the midst of it all we had a group of our younger athletes in the junior races. Our star performer on the day was Caolan Collins who finished 2nd in the girls race running against much older athletes. Others who stood out were Sara Byrne, Finn McAuley, Lia Butler Lynch Clare and Conor Murphy. Great running everyone.

League 1 update from Irishtown
We had 19 of our younger athletes in action at Irishtown last Saturday. There were huge numbers in all the events with many heats. Thanks to Edel who looked after the gang and to Brian who officiated. Martha Fisher made the final of the 60m under 10 with Amy Corcoran just missing out ( over 50 athletes in this event), Hugh ran in the Boys sprint under 10. Shona was 9th in her 600m and Niamh Bergin took off with 200m to go in her 600 and came through impressively to 5th place. In the under 12 boys sprint Oisin Gavin did really well to come 6th in the final. Alex was 4th in her 800m race under 14 and Clare O Connor was 5th in her 800m. Ashley did well to make the final of her sprint, Sara Byrne was 6th in her 800m, Clare Murphy was 5th in her 800m . Well done to all the above and to everyone else who competed.
