Final Results of Juv League 2015

Our womens novice team finished 5th in the National Novice in Dungarvan at the weekend Well done Cliona, Sinead, Aoife, Edel and Aislinn. Cliona also helped the Dublin team win inter county bronze as she was the 4th scorer on the Dublin team in 25th place overall.

This weekend all interest heads to France for the European Cross country championships. Our club have particular interest as club member Pierre is on the Irish team for the Junior mens race. Pierre is the first club member to represent Ireland in a European cross country event. He first represented Ireland as a 16 year old in the Celtic international and schools international which is the pathway for most young Irish athletes and it is great to see him progress to European level in 2015. He is underage again for this competition next year and hopefully will get another chance at this event. We send our best wishes to Pierre and all the team and will be glued to the airways next Sunday. When we have details of coverage we will update the website.

Club members representing St Dominics College were very prominent at the Dunboyne Schools races yesterday. In the minor girls race Clare Murphy had a great win with Anna Petit a battling 2nd. Sara Byrne tore down the finishing straight passing a good few runners on her way and the team finished first with great backup from Gillian Murphy.

Dora Medgyesy floated effortlessly over the deep mud and won the junior race by a huge margin with Libby Peppard finishing 2nd in a tough battle with a girl from Rathoath.

Ellen Byrne wasa very good 2nd in the Senior race with Aoife Corr a fine 3rd. Emily Murphy continues her comeback battle, finishing strongly with Aoife Donaghy helping the team to first place.

A great day for the school, well done to all the girls. Next event will be the Castleknock College races on Thursday next for first and second year girls. Great to race against different schools and see what the opposition will be like for the schools championship series which starts in January☺.

League 3 got under way in very windy conditions today in Tymon Park. We had a very good turnout of our younger athletes. Our standout performers were Finn Mc Auley, Caolan Collins, our under 12 girls team, Claire Murphy, Sara Byrne, Sean Donoghue, Dora Medgyesy Ben Casey. Great to see Ella Mae back in action in the under 15 girls and a really good run for Abbey in the under 16 girls. Great to see Gillian Murphy finish her race after a long time out with an injury. Well done to all and thanks to the parents who supported.

In miserable conditions we had a hardy group of athletes running in the CBS cross country races in ALSAA on Friday representing St Declans Cabra. There were a few club lads missing on the day which is a pity as its very important to represent your school. First off were the minor boys and Sean Donoghue was an impressive 2nd over a short 1200m course. Conor Murphy ran really well finishng in the top 20. In the under 16 race Ben Casey had his best run ever and finished in a very good 13th place, Ben is working really hard and is much improved from last year. Aklilu also ran well in his first serious race and finished a fine 5th in the inter boys event. Well done to all the lads.
