Please take time to read the following long message with some important updates below regarding Juvenile groups and upcoming season of Athletics.
1- Cross Country training
The Cross Country season commences with a new relay event on Saturday 12th September. Can we please ask parents of any juvenile members interested in participating in Cross Country events to please contact Fergal who will coordinate with coaches on 0863814609 before Friday 21st August. Training for children participating in Cross country will resume next week- further details will be sent when we assess interest. We are hopeful of entering a few teams and high level participation but children will be expected to attend training and be available for team competition. Regular juvenile training will resume in late September/early October and updates on groups and times will issue in advance of same.

For requests for children born in years earlier than 2018 only please send an email to [email protected]
