LISCARROLL AC
Several members of the club were honoured with awards at the Mallow and District Sports and Leisure Council awards at a special function held at the Springfort Hall on Saturday night last. This ceremony has been ongoing since 1991 and many of our athletes in the past who lived in or attended secondary school in the catchment area have been the recipients of these awards. Congratulations to everyone who attended and received these awards for their athletic activities, hard work and commitment to their sport in 2018.
Those, who received awards, and in no particular order, were Finbarr Whelan, Joseph Cusack, Joe Ivory, Aoife O’Sullivan, Irene Kellegher, Sophie Perrott, Vicklie Cusack, Anna Kellegher, Amy Whelan, Isobelle Kellegher, Tim and Esther Fitzpatrick.
The event was sponsored by the Corkman newspaper and Mallo0w Mabels and AIB Mallow.
Hopefully these awards will inspire everyone involved and those who are not yet old enough to be participants, will gain some inspiration for 2019 and put on even better performances in their individual sports.
Many thanks to the organisers of this event and we all look forward to the next one.
VICKIE CUSACK – Vickie is now a member of our Irish Defence Forces and recently competed in their all-Ireland Athletics Championships held at Athlone a week ago. She competed in three events winning gold in all of them, ie long jump, 60m sprint and shot put. Well done to her for her success and for continuing in the sport of athletics.
TRAINING – Athletes, who are of competition age, eg celebrating their eighth birthday in 2019 and older, are reminded that their County Championships are only seven training weeks away. Everyone in the above mentioned age group will be eligible to participate.
Some are making very good progress, but others are lackadaisical about training. There are also many events that we have not been able to get involved in due to dark evenings and we hope to be able to get going on these shortly. In the meantime, training sessions are as follows.
