With Cliodhna Manning, winner of national senior 400m in 2017, out of action through injury it was left to Ciara Deely to represent the club at the national senior track and field finals in Santry this weekend. And she represented us in style. In the second semi-final on Saturday she placed second in 55.56 to qualify for Sunday's final.

July 8 – Round 2 Of National League

2018-07-16T10:29:16+01:00

If travelling to Belfast for Round 1 proved difficult because of the distance involved, then travelling to Santry for Round 2 should have been considerably easier. But then perhaps it wasn’t the travelling that was difficult. Our four man team on this occasion – Nicholas Dunphy, Luke Whelan, Brendan Hyland and Kevin Burns – gathered a mere 23 points when 123 points might have helped us to stay in the competition.
