Primary Schools Sports in Santry

We had a gang of our primary school athletes in action in Santry today (Monday). Our gold medal winners were Aoibh Collins ( 600m), Julianne Rodrigo (600m), silver medals for Alex Corr (600m) and a bronze medal for Clare O’ Connor in the high jump. Just missing out on medals was Sean Donoghue 4th in his 600m, Clare Murphy James McManus and Anna Petit all ran great but just ran out of legs near the end but both have missed some training due to illness and injury. Others who competed today for their schools were, Katie Harrold, Celine Gavin, Lia Butler Lynch and Felix Moloney Daly. Well done to everyone.

League 4 in Santry

League 4 was held in glorious conditions in Santry on Saturday. Standout performances on the day from Chloe Corcoran, Alison Burke, Sean Donoghue and Dora Medgyesy. Overall we have had a poor turnout for the four league events, with mostly the same athletes there each week. Some may have had genuine reasons for missing out but its a pity so many did.  We are an athletic club, we expect our athletes to represent the club at whatever level. Learning to compete and getting out of your comfort zone is an important life skill which cant be underestimated. During the four weeks we have discovered previously unknown talents that we wouldnt have known about without these low key events. Well done to all the athletes who made the effort to take part, each week you could see the confidence levels growing which was great to see. We have a two week break from competition now and the next events will be the Dublin championship on the weekend of the 5th of June , Community games the following weekend. Details later.
