The National seniors finished off the track season for our older athletes last weekend. We had 3 athletes in action. Catherine Mc Manus qualfied on Saturday for the final of the 100m on Sunday. She finished 7th in the final. Forty mins later she lined up for the final of the 100m hurdles where she took off too fast and was too close to the first hurdle to clear it and bombed out of the race!. One thing Catherine doesnt lack is guts, she got up, dusted herself down and went back to the warm up area to prepare for the 200m half an hour later. She lined up for the 200m probably ranked 4th going in and ran a great race finishing 3rd and bagged her first senior outdoor National medal. Well done Catherine!Niamh Donnelly and Claire Brennan ran in the 1500m. Claire was tired from the gun and found it really tough but Niamh gave the race everything and came very close to her personal best in her final track race of the season. Well done to all three girls. Its been a long season and they will now have a well deserved rest.

A big thank you to the young athletes who helped with the gear baskets. You did a great job!

Could all the children who are working in Santry at the weekend please meet Saturday at 12.45. Please have food before you come out and you will get a lunch pack later on in the day. Sunday crew need to be out there for 11.30. Everyone should wear black or navy bottoms. Dont forget to support Niamh Donnelly, Claire Brennan and Catherine Mc Manus at the weekend.

A huge thank you to all the parents and children and teenagers who came early this morning to work at the Water stations for the half marathon. Thank you for giving up your August Bank holiday Sunday lie in, even though it felt more like October Bank Holiday weekend! Well done to all the’young entertainers’ who really got into the spirit of rock n roll and sent the runners by with a smile on their faces. Hopefully the blisters will heal up soon 😠 Enjoy the next few weeks break. We will be looking for helpers for the baskets at the Nationals next weekend and will be in touch during the week. You are a great bunch. ☺.
