Due to the expected very cold weather on Thursday night we have decided to cancel training. Some of our coaches and a good few of the athletes are unwell and it will give everyone a chance to regroup for the weekend. Please circulate in case some people miss the messsge. The secondary schoolgroup are going to run after school and are making their own arrangements.

We had intended to do some races for the younger children on Sunday in the park but we will now do them on Tuesday night in NIA. The cake race will go ahead on Sat in the park. The selected course will be dependent on the ground conditions. Everyone should bring a wrapped prize( max value 5 euro) . If you are a baker this is your chance to shine!!

Our young athletes had their first experience of competing on a snow covered cross country course today in Tymon park. The white surroundings certainly lifted the spirits and the performances. Great running by Evie, Cara and Ellie (under 10 girls ) got the day under way for us in fine style, followed immediately with great running from Senan, Edward and Canice in the boys race.
In the under 11 races Rion, Matthew, Max and Sean ran strongly.

Amelia and Lelia were very competitive in the under 12 girls race, Pearl, Jessica, Maggie, Saoirse, Freya, Caroline and Daire were all prominent in the under 13 races.
Ella, Abigail and Hugh battled well in the under 14 races, Goda, Erin and Aimee ran well under 15, lily, Cliodhna and Christopher rounded off out snowy day out in style in the older age groups.

Our senior womens team of Sorcha, Aoife, Edel and Orla ran their hearts out in the intermediate womens 5k and won the team event with Sorcha finishing 1st overall.

Thank you to the parents who brought and supported all the children today. Thanks also to those who helped with the numbers and the officiating.
