A busy day out at Day 3 of the Leinster Indoor Championships yesterday Saturday in Abbottstown.
Our juniors Darragh Flannelly and Adam O'Connor had very brave runs in a topclass field of 13 juniors in the 800m. Both ran excellent races to finish within range of their PBs but were unlucky not to medal on the day.
A proud day to see these guys moving up the ages and competing on the same day with senior members.
Our Masters had a 100% record, winning 9 medals out of 9 competitions, across the sprints, middle distance & throws.

A dozen Striders travelled to Enniscorthy today to support Slaney Olympic’s annual 10K. The strong winds courtesy of Storm Dennis made for tough conditions, but that didn’t prevent some fine performances throughout the field from our athletes. First Strider home was Paul Doran who battled hard to finish 3rd in 34:29. Brendan Lyng finished 5th, 25 seconds behind Paul. Nicola Murphy was 7th woman in a very competitive field in just over 43 minutes. David Kehoe had another successful day, winning the Over 50 category. A big well done to Slaney on another successful 10K, an event that goes from strength to strength every year.
