Weekend Activities

Well done all who made the journey to the Munster Cross Country Championships on Sunday and in very tough conditions good performances were had by all. Claire Grant and Richard Lucas competed inn the Junior events and in the senior men race Brian Swaby lead home the men's team with a very respectable 18th place and together with Jim Baldwin, Dave Drohan, Finley weir and Derek Grant the team just missed out on a medal by finishing 4th.

On the same day in London Tom O'Brien competing in the British Masters Indoor Pentathlon won Silver and recorded a new Irish record of 2893 points. The events were 60m Hurdles, Long Jump, Shot Putt, High Jump and 1000m. Any members interested in getting involved in Masters Track & Field should contact Derek Grant, Jacinta Power or Tom as we will be starting Saturday introductory sessions again this year (starting in March).
