Medals were hard to come by on Sunday at St Augustines College in Dungarvan but our ever improving U12 boys team of Hugo Blair, Jamie McCarthy, Luke O'Brien and David McGlynn won team Gold wth Hugo getting individual bronze also. Other members of the team who each ran strong were Fergus O'Brien, Ryan O'Loughlin and Luke Cronin. Best of luck to these young boys at the Munster Championships in 2 weeks tme.
The only other Juvenile team we managed to field was the girls U14 of Gwyneth Blair, Erica Kelly, Emma O'Brien and Louise Reidy. Well done to the girls and better luck next week where Gwyneth steps down to the U13 and Erica, Emma and Louise step up to U15.
Two excellent individual performances on the day were had by Nicole Rowe in winning the U16 girls race and Kate Nolan who came second to International Juvenile athlete Kate Veale in the U18 race.
Other members who competed were Emma Caulfield, Nicole McCarthy, Ethan Flynn, Garvin Blair, Eoin O'Grady, Cliona Brennan, Conor Quinn, Saoirse Casey Power, Niamh Tebay, Caroline Farrelly, Richard Lucas and Killiane Hearne. Juvenile member Claire Grant competed in the Novice race and was a member of the bronze winning team.
Out of a current membership of over 200 athletes we only had 25 competing on the day: can we do better next week??
Next Sunday at the same venue, with a start time of 1pm again, we look forward to many more members making the short journey to compete at the U9, U11, U13, U15 and U17 championships.
