We had a good turnout at the second competition for our younger athletes on Saturday. All the results haven’t been done up yet but so far our best performers on the day were Dora, Sean Donoghue, Chloe Corcoran and Emily Corcoran. More detailed results later. Well done to all and thanks to the parents who supported their children.

Jim Corrigan Rip
We are sad to announce the death of one of the founder members of the original Celtic Athletic Club in the seventies on the Navan road. Jim spent many years coaching and encouraging all the young athletes. In later years he was delighted to see the revival of the club and he followed our progress with great interest. To his wife Nora and his daughters especially Bridget who a lot of our current members would know from her involment with our high jumpers. Rip dear Jim.
Greystones results
We had 3 athletes racing in greystones today. Catherine McManus was happy with her win in the 100 and 2nd place in the 200. Pierre Murchan won the 1500m in a new personal best of 3mins52.73 secs. Finn Burke power also ran a pb, running 51.07 knocking over a second off his previous best while winning his 400m. Great running😊
