COMMUNITY GAMES
Congratulations to all our athletes who took part in the Community Games National Finals in Athlone at the weekend. Aoife Dwyer came home with a pewter medal-the under-12 mixed distance relay team came fourth. Unfortunately the under-14 boys with Shane and Jack lost out in the final and the under-14 girls team with Rachel Dwyer just missed out in the semi-final. Such a fantastic achievement to get to the final. We are so proud of you all and wish you every success in the future. Pics: Jacinta O’Shea and Michelle Dwyer
