The biggest thank you to all the athletes, parents and friends who came out in huge numbers to help us out in the park today. With your support the whole days events ran off smoothly and we had no times when we were short of people to do the loads of little things that have to be done to make the day a success. THANKS☺

The meeting time and place for the younger athletes who are running on Sunday is the tented area on the main road of the Park at 11am. Any adults who are in the main pool of helpers and havent been allocated a job come to the same area for 11. Those who are going directly to the water station at the bottom of the Magazine Hills please aim to be there for 12.30. The younger gang will go down with Hilary after the junior races. Wrap up well. Its to be quite cold and no harm to bring some eats as hungry bellies can get very cranky☺. Please bring along a friend or three if you can as many hands make light work. Thank you. Stewards who know their time and spot go straight there if you have your jacket or come to tented area to collect on route.

We had a very good turnout at the races on Skerries beach today. Lots of good performances in conditions that were a bit nasty at times, however the young athletes didnt appear to notice especially when they were tucking in to all the nice cakes and treats afterwards which were laid on by the local club. Standout performers today were George Harrold, Shauna Gogarty, Keelin Collins, Lia ButlerLynch, Conor Murphy, Clare Murphy, Aoibh Collins, Dora Medgyesy, Emily Murphy. Well done to everyone who took part and especially to all the athletes who ran up an age group today which can be a bit daunting. Thank you to the parents who braved the weather to support their children and finally great credit to Skerries AC for hosting the event.

I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who supported me during my recent time p in hospital and recovery from surgery. To all who called, visited, wrote and all those who prayed for me, to the members and parents from Celticdch and my very good friends who were there for me and my family during a difficult few weeks, your kindness was very much appreciated. To the wider Irish athletics community a big thank you. Your combined support has helped so much and you will never know how much it meant to me.Mary Mc
