We had our annual presentation of the Dublin League awards to our young athletes on Monday night last in the Hole in the Wall. Well done to all our award winners, in particular our star under 11 overall winner Sophie English and Alison Burke and Pierre Murchan who were dual winners featuring in the top six in both cross country and the track events. Photos of the event will be loaded soon.

College girls
Best of luck to some of our older girls who start college this month, Olwyn is off to UL, Siobhan to DCU, Heather and Aislinn to St Pats, Bridget to Carlow IT and Ciana to Trinity. We hope all of you will make a big contribution to your college athletic teams.

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!
