We had a huge gang of our smallies at the Donore sports this evening.We came home with lots of medals with standout performances from Antonio, Antoniette, Alison, Chloe, Dora, Billy and Sophie. Its also great to see the improvement overall from the athletes who come regularly to training. Well done everyone.

We had a group of our older athletes in action at the senior league races on Wednesday night in Tallaght with some very good results. In the B 1500m for women Alison Armstrong ran a pb and her best race in a long time. In the A race Clare Brennan and Niamh Donnelly ran really well and both girls got pbs. Michael Fitzpatrick won his heat of the 200m. Full results are on the Dublin athletics website.

On Saturday next the Dublin race series gets under way in the Phoenix Park with a five mile race. We have been asked to do the water station which is at the usual place over beside Marys HospitaL. If you are driving go to Chapelizod Gate and tell the stewards that you are going to the water station. Cycle over otherwise if you can and we need everyone there at 9.15 sharp. We should be cleaned up and gone by 11.45.

We have been invited to the Donore Harriers Sports meeting on Thursday night which starts at 6.30. We need to try and get there for 6pm or as soon as possible after 6. We havent recieved a copy of the programme yet but for facebook fans apparently its on the Donore Facebook page! Events for toddlers and all age groups up to under 16. Donore Harriers is at the Chapelizod gate of the Phoenix park. You can access by going out the Chapelizod Road, by going to Castleknock turning at Myos and going down Knocknamaroon Hill, or by driving across the Park and Parking inside the Chapelizod Gate.

This is a fun night not to be missed, the entry fee is 3 euro per child and everyone gets a goody bag at the end of the night.
