Club notes - Monday, 04 November 2019

St Brendan’s AC had a good day at the Kerry Athletics masters and juvenile B cross country championships in Killarney on Sunday. In the masters’ races, Finbarr Collins had a super win in the O35 category in his first county cross country while Peter Jackson came second in the same category.

Ann McGlynn ran brilliantly also in the women’s race. In the O65 men’s championships, Willie O’Riordan won the gold with silver going to David Kissane and bronze to Pat Sheehy who ran an inspiring race. The team gold went to St Brendan in this category. St Brendan’s had a strong presence in all club categories with Pádraig Regan, Ger Carroll, Artur Nowak, David Butler and John Culloty all making an impact as we await team results.


In the juvenile races, Matthew O’Sullivan and Darragh O’Flaherty won medals in their races while Tom O'Flaherty got a bronze in his U14 event. Good performances were displayed by Lilly Nowak and Caoimhe O’Flaherty in their different categories.


St Brendan’s AC hosted the event and the club thanks all who helped to make the occasion a success.
Congratulations are also due to Aaron Malik (St Brendan’s AC and Mercy Mounthawk) who had a great day at the schools combined events with a bronze medal performance, continuing an outstanding year for Aaron.

Well done to all St Brendan's AC marathoners in Dublin last weekend at Marathon National Championships.
PBs and first marathons and happy runners at the finish.
