Definitely not picnic weather but the rain held off for most of the days racing in Newbridge House today. We had a small group representing the club and gaining early season race experience. Top placers today were Caolan Collins 3rd under 15, Oisin Gavin 6th under 14 and Celine 2nd under 18, Daniel Fortune under 17. Very good running from Cliodhna and Jessica Ryan, Hugh, Alice, Martha and Abigail under 11, Aoibhinn under 12, Shona, Meave and Lily under 13, Niamh under 14, Hazel under 15, Clare, Keelin and Christopher under 16.

Thank you to.Dave who helped at the finish line , to Teresa who looked after the numbers and to all the other parents who supported.
