Please note its still very cold in the evenings, wear tracksuits to training, take them off when you are warmed up. Wear hats as cold ears are a lot more painful than hat hair! Reminder that club membership forms should be handed in asap.

Ella Mae Cromie continued her fine form with an impressive win in the minor girls race in ALSAA, Libby Peppard was a very good 6th, with Ada Vasic running her first race in a long time finishing in a very good 11th place. Ella Mae led her team from Mt Temple to a narrow victory over St Dominics Cabra. In the Junior race Emily Murphy ran a very gutsy race finishing 6th, leading her team of Katie Hanna and Abbey Corr with another great run to 4th place just missing on a leinster qualifer. Oscar Moloney Daly had a very good run in the inter boys finishing in the top 15. The senior girls race was a battle between Cliona Murphy and Niamh Corry from Malahide with Cliona eventually coming a very good 2nd. Cliona led her team from St Dominics to first place with Ellen Byrne, Aoife Corr and a very impressive Aoife Donaghy (In her first cross country race). Well done to all:)

The West Leinster schools were held in the Phoenix Park yesterday. We had a good few athletes involved and some very good performances on the day. In the Minor girls race Chloe Corcoran finished a strong 4th, Alison Armstrong was 2nd in the senior girls, Ben Quinn was a very good 5th in the inter boys and Pierre Murchan won the senior boys. Caoimhe Lynan and Evan Mc Millan both ran very well in their races even though it was a bit on the long side for both.
