Beach trip
Forty one athletes made the trip to Curracloe last weekend for our annual trip to the beach. The sunny southeast lived up to its name and a great time was had by all. We may look at having a ‘pushing a round bale competition’ as we seem to have quite a few contenders!

Summer is almost over gang and it will soon be time to get moving again. If any of the Saturday morning crew are around we will meet at the hole in the Wall at 10.30am this Saturday the 25th Aug. Everyone will meet at 11am on Sunday at the Hole in the Wall. Training details for next week will be under training updates on Friday.

Cliona Murphy finished a fine 4th in the under 17 girls 1500m in Tullamore on Sat in a time of 5mins 17secs, Alison Armstrong was 8th in the under 16 event in a tiem of 5mins 18secs. Well done to both girls.

Morton Games
At the Morton Games in Santry Catherine McManus had a great start in the womens 100m but unfortunately her hamstring injury recurred and she had to pull up. This was a hugh disapointment for Catherine as she had absolutely no warning in advance. Such a shame for our two star sprinters Steffi and Catherine to be forced to end their seasons like this but they will no doubt be back in full training as soon as they can. Otherwise the meeting in Santry was amazing, the races were so exciting, weather was perfect and a very and a big supportive turnout of spectators. All our gang who were there really enjoyed the night.

Big Kids Races
Meanwhile the big kids leagues contiued last week with 800m races in Santry. Danny ran a personal best in his race, Cliona Murphy improved on her time from the previous weekend by 4 seconds, Sinead and Clare wernt too happy with their races. In Santry on Sunday in very breezy conditions Sinead and Danny ran in the 1500m and 800m respectively, Catherine McManus won her 100m in fine style and hoped that would signal her recovery from her hamstring troubles but the Morton meet put an end to that.

Final Track Competitions 2012
This weekend Alison Armstrong, Clare Brennan and Cliona Murphy compete in the National under 16 and 17 1500m in Tullamore. Next Wednesday night Danny, Sinead and Olwyn will compete in the final big kids league race in Irishtown. For training details for this week see under training details at top of Home page.
