March Round Up 2011

Darragh Lowth was the only club athlete to make the long trip to Magharafelt for the national indoor championships where he competed in the 600m.He finished 3rd in a huge PB of 1.47 with less than a second seperating the first four athletes.Well done Darragh.


The St Brendans AC U9-U14 athletes once again retained their Kerry sportshall title in Kenmare by the minimum of 1 point!!!!!!!!!!!! Even though our numbers were down this year the group of athletes that travelled competed fantastically with everybody bringing home at least one medal with most athletes bringing home a bunch of medals.I dont have a list of athletes that took part at present but well done to everyone involved!


St Brendan's AC hosted the Kerry 5km road championships on March 20th.We had two sole representatives in Caoimhe Casey 3rd in the novice women and Artur Nowak 4th in the O40 mens category.Well done to both athletes and thank you to anybody who helped out in any way on the day and especially Ardfert national school for allowing us the use of the school.
