Some of the Club’s athletes that were too young to compete at the Leinster Indoors in Nenagh and so headed to Oldbridge Estate in Drogheda on Sunday 28th February to compete in the Rás na hÉireann, where they enjoyed the competition and many won prizes.

Aoife Darby finished 6th in the girls under 11 and won an individual prize, followed by Maolíosa NíLéannacháin in 10th. In the u/11 boys race, Conor McHugh finished 4th to win an individual prize, as did Jack Moran (6th), and with John Whitelaw and Ronan McHugh running so well, the boys finished 2nd team and were delighted with their team prizes. Claire Fagan finished 5th in the girls u/13, just ahead of Laura Whitelaw in 6th and Emma Glynn in 7th and if only they had one more runner, they would surely have won a team prize too (Race winner by the way was Eva O'Donovan (Navan AC) who we know well from training in Belvedere on Sunday mornings; well done Eva).

Well done to all on their fine performances.
