Save the date 😁 Great Ireland Run

Our club fundraiser will be held on April 9th in the Phoenix Park. We will need an army of helpers on the day. The timetable and programme is on greatirelandrun.org. If any of our younger athletes would like to race on the day please register online asap. Further updates later.

All Ireland schools in Mallusk

Sean Donoghue was in a class of his own today in Mallusk. A heavy fall and a lost shoe were not going to deny him a win on a very mucky, tough course. This was probably Sean’s best performance to date and he made it look easy, completely composed and perfectly positioned throughout. Great run! Sean now gets to represent Ireland at the school’s international in Wales in two weeks time. Another Irish international for our club. Well done Sean!

Our minor girls found the going very tough and we’re well down on their Leinster performances but they ran their best on the day and all recovered quickly. Clare Murphy ran well up to form in the junior race but might have run a bit too fast early on and paid for it later in the race. Well done to everyone and this brings cross country to an end for all except Sean who has two more weeks to go. Thanks to all the parents who drove and supported today.
