Friday

Day 1 of the Dublin Championships got off to a winning start for the club on Friday night when Keelan Gogarty had a great win in the under 9 girls 500m.

Our entries for Day 3 of the Dublin Championships in Santry next Sunday starting at 12 noon have been updated on the Training Updates Page

Two of our club athletes were competing in the Geneva International meeting on Saturday the 2nd of June and in the Chaux -de- Fonds meeting on Sunday the 3rd of June. Catherine equaled her seasons best of 13.88s in the 100m hurdles in Geneva  and Steffi got a new seasons best in the 200m with 24.41s. Despite the very windy and wet conditions on Sunday Steffi won her 200m race and Catherine made it into the finals of the ‘A’ 100m coming 7th against some very fast sprinters. Overall the girls should benefit from their experience of competing against top opposition in very competitive settings. Links here to the 100m Geneva; Links here to the 100hm Geneva

At Home – Best of Luck and Hard Luck

Best of luck to Sarah and David at the Irish Schools Championships on Saturday in Tullamore. Hard luck to Pierre who had to pull out due to injury. Best wishes to Sophie English who fractured her collar-bone at training on Thursday night. Sophie was  a very brave little girl and she and Pierre will be back in action as soon as they are able. 

Abroad –

Steffi Creaner and Catherine Mc Manus  are off this weekend to race in Geneva and Basle in Switzerland.  The good wishes of the Club go with both girls as they both train very hard and hopefully will get the results they deserve.
