24 athletes have been selected to represent Ireland at this week’s European Indoor Championships from 4-7 March in Torun.  The club sends a “Good Luck” message to all the athletes who have been selected but in particular to the following who were participants in our 2020 Summer Games, providing some top class athletics in Moyne – Molly Scott, SLOT (60mts), Sophie Becker, Raheny Shamrocks (400mts), Sharlene Mawdsley, Newport (400mts), Nadia Power, Dublin City Harriers (800mts), Michelle Finn, Leevale (3,000mts), Sean Tobin, Clonmel (3,000mts), Andrew Coscoran, Star of the Sea (1,500mts) and Paul Robinson, St. Coca’s AC (1,500mts).  They have given us plenty to cheer about over the past couple of weeks, with some magnificent performances.  With a historic number of entries, this will be one of the most contested Championships ever and no doubt will bring out the best in all the Irish athletes.  The club is particularly proud of our two Tipperary athletes, Sean Tobin and Sharlene Mawdsley and with Sprints Support Coach Noelle Morrissey of Nenagh Olympic also part of the Irish set up, the County is riding high at international level.

A reminder to the parents of all juvenile athletes that once training resumes all those in possession of club singlets will be asked to hand them back in.  Indeed, if there is anyone else who has a club singlet in their possession, we would also like them to be returned to the club when the time comes. 

Registration for 2021 has opened and we are encouraging all members to re-register.  The club has now gone on-line for registration and our new Registrar, Michelle Percy, is processing the applications as they come in.  Members need to contact Michelle with their e-mail address as she can then send on the link.  Registration fees including those that are forwarded to AAI for insurance purposes are €30 per juvenile, €50 per adult (including social members) with a family membership of 2 adults and 2 children capped at €150.  While activities are currently suspended, once the go ahead is given for training to recommence, it will be necessary for all attending to be registered.
