What can we say, you were all brilliant today! Its almost unfair to single out anyone but we have to say a special well done to Keelin and Alex in the under 9s. Also to Cliona Carthy and Cliona Murphy 2nd and 3rd in the Dublin under 18 championship and to Eva who ran a great race also. Great to see Billy, Ben, Pierre, Anna, Alison, Liam and Ella Mae mantaining their good form. Consistant training is the key and the league races are where you learn how to race. Thanks to all the parents who helped out and supported to the end of a lovely Autumn Day in the Park!

A huge well done to all who competed in league 3 in the Phoenix Park today in nasty enough conditions. Real cross-country weather! Keelin Gogarty had a great run to win the under 9 girls in fine style way ahead of the rest of the field with Alex Corr having her best run ever only a few places behind. Little Clare O Connor also ran great in her first race. Our other winner on the day was Alison Armstrong who ran very impressively in the under 16 girls race. Lots of other great performances in particular from the two Ben Quinns, Ella Mae, Laura May, Caoimhe Bresnan, Finn, Billy and Tom Brennan,Oliver, Finn Burke Power, Jamie,Oscar, Luke, Michael, Ciara and Sara J, Clare and Conor Murphy, Emily and Dora, Sean Harper and Sean Barrett, Alison and Liam Burke, Katie Hanna, Katie Harrold and Gillian, Ellen and Sara (great finish Sara), Aoife and Abbey. I hope i didnt leave anyone out, you were all great and its lovely to see the improvement over the 3 rounds of the league so far. Next Sunday league 4 will be on at the same venue and we hope to see you all back in action once again.

Dublin Novice
One of our older girls Sinead Cronin ran in the Dublin Novice which was on after the Juvenile races and she had her best run in a long time to finish a fine 10th in a very strong novice field. This was Sineads first outing since our senior gang have started a new training regime organised by Dermot and its great to see such a positive result. Well done to Dermot and Sinead!
