RECORD NUMBERS AT SWORDS - PLUS FULL RESULT
Close to a hundred turned out for the first round of the Meet and Train Women's Winter League, held in bitterly cold conditions around the Ballyheary fields in Swords on Sunday November 30.
Host club Fingallians, as well as longtime league supporters Sportsworld, with the largest Meet and Train/Fit for Life groups in the Dublin area, had several teams entered.
Also entered were Meet and Train stalwarts from Lucan, Donore and Blackrock. Back after an absence of a couple of season were Clonliffe Harriers and a team from RTE. Completely new were the girls from Piranha Tri Club.
Up front, Sportsworld's Cronagh Brady came home in 12 mins 18 secs for her first Meet and Train victory. Last spring, in the road series, Cronagh was consistently in the top six and has clearly been training hard since then.
Finishing second was local runner Cindy Hickey of Fingallians in 12 mins 22 secs. Sportsworld pair Stephanie Bergin and Edel Madigan came home in third and fourth place, followed by Donore newcomer Louisa Nesbitt. In sixth place was Blackrock's Louise Keogh.
Meet and Train running began as an informal network designed for women who wanted to get fit for the women's mini marathon. While some came from other sports, most were taking the brave step of trying something completely new.
So if you've only started running - or plan to start in the New Year - Meet and Train is for you! Next two mile run is scheduled for Sunday January 11 in Griffeen Park, Lucan and, as always, all standards are welcome. Groups from the workplace, gym, other sports, charities, or even your local neighbourhood are all invited. Particularly welcome would be women from Fit for Life training groups, set up under a Sports Council initiative in a number of Leinster running clubs.
Individuals who can find no-one to train with are also more than welcome - Meet and Train runs provide a great opportunity for "networking" among women with similar interests.
Other Winter League dates are Sunday February 1 at Tymon Park, when Sportsworld are the hosts and Sunday February 15 in Raheny. All races are two miles, start at 11am and are followed by a welcome cup of tea. Any queries contact Sue Lynch 086 2327570 or visit www.womensmeetandtrain.blogspot.com .

Kearney Memorial 2 Mile, Santry
Well done to Kathryn Walley and her Clonliffe team on a lovely race on the tarmac path through the grounds of Santry.
As hoped, quite a few Meet & Train groups supported the race as a warm-up for the Winter League which starts on November 30 in Swords.
There was a particularly large group from Fingallians, led home by Cindy Hickey in tenth place, with Bronagh Snow 24th, Siobhan McCarthy 31st, Cathering Bennette 39th, Anne Marie Gargan 40th, and a big gang - Mary Keane, Ciara Lee, Nina Donnelly, Freda Sally, Nuala Walsh - coming in more or less together; plus newcomer Clare Byrne, who finished with the Crusaders crew. Christina McGoldrick and Jennifer Lee from Blackrock were two other familiar faces, plus members of Donore, Tallaght, Rathfarnham WSAF and, of course, Clonliffe.
On the sidelines, Dave Hudson was busily snapping away, so here are a few of his photos. Full results on the Clonliffe Harriers website.

Meeting Monday 22 September
M&T meeting Monday September 22 at Donore 8pm. All welcome to discuss format for winter and summer leagues to come and the setting up of small committee of maybe three - secretary, treasurer, race co-ordinator.
See below for interesting comments from Christina of Blackrock AC:
I think that it's a great idea to incorporate the Sportsworld 5 and the
mini-marathon into the series. Also, I've been to some BHAA races
outside Dublin (including one in Maynooth and one in a little town in
Kildare) and don't see any reason not to bring the M&T outside Dublin from time to
time - it's definitely easy to get out early on a weekend morning, I'm sure
there are lots of us who are willing to give lifts to people from our own
clubs & other clubs, and it would add a whole new level of interest to the
races.
(Could be an idea to check with club members & see if our informal
transport arrangements work for everyone involved in the league, or whether a
car pool system organised via the website might be useful? I don't know, as
transport isn't a problem for me...).
It would be fabulous to do the track events again - I absolutely
loved that, and Crusaders were fabulous to organise it. Maybe we could get more
volunteers like yourself/Paddy/Duncan organised in advance so that the
Crusaders girls don't have to miss out so much. I can't be the only
one with a husband/boyfriend/friend able to help out once in a while.
As regards the difficulty of finding suitable roads, could the Summer
league include some cross country or beach runs? The main thing we're all
looking for is a good race - I don't think the surface matters all that much.
Lots of people prefer running on grass anyway... There was a cross country
that we did in Malahide Castle one summer (May, I think), and the ground
was so good it might as well have been a road race.
Duncan suggests Howth summit as a potential race venue - could be
interesting as we never do hill runs - but I'm guessing the league might
have difficulty getting access to it.
Can we piggy-back on some of the charity runs that occur during the
year, too? M&T is one of those things that can be happening in your back
yard & you just don't notice - if teams came out to those races, we would
raise the profile of the M&T and give the charities that organise those races a
boost with the extra runners the M&T would bring out. To be honest, I don't
know much about the non-M&T, non-BHAA races, so I don't know if that's a
viable option...
Thanks,
Christina.
See below for interesting comments from Christina of Blackrock AC:
I think that it's a great idea to incorporate the Sportsworld 5 and the
mini-marathon into the series. Also, I've been to some BHAA races
outside Dublin (including one in Maynooth and one in a little town in
Kildare) and don't see any reason not to bring the M&T outside Dublin from time to
time - it's definitely easy to get out early on a weekend morning, I'm sure
there are lots of us who are willing to give lifts to people from our own
clubs & other clubs, and it would add a whole new level of interest to the
races.
(Could be an idea to check with club members & see if our informal
transport arrangements work for everyone involved in the league, or whether a
car pool system organised via the website might be useful? I don't know, as
transport isn't a problem for me...).
It would be fabulous to do the track events again - I absolutely
loved that, and Crusaders were fabulous to organise it. Maybe we could get more
volunteers like yourself/Paddy/Duncan organised in advance so that the
Crusaders girls don't have to miss out so much. I can't be the only
one with a husband/boyfriend/friend able to help out once in a while.
As regards the difficulty of finding suitable roads, could the Summer
league include some cross country or beach runs? The main thing we're all
looking for is a good race - I don't think the surface matters all that much.
Lots of people prefer running on grass anyway... There was a cross country
that we did in Malahide Castle one summer (May, I think), and the ground
was so good it might as well have been a road race.
Duncan suggests Howth summit as a potential race venue - could be
interesting as we never do hill runs - but I'm guessing the league might
have difficulty getting access to it.
Can we piggy-back on some of the charity runs that occur during the
year, too? M&T is one of those things that can be happening in your back
yard & you just don't notice - if teams came out to those races, we would

M&T - A Brave New World?
Earlier this summer we had a meeting with Ryan Montgomery of AAI concerning a revamp of the Meet & Train Series of winter and summer races for women.
Time is ticking past and we urgently need to fix a date for a general meeting of all clubs and groups associated with M&T and Fit for Life. Possible dates are a Monday or Tuesday in Donore - ie, 15/16 Sept, 22/23 Sept, if any of these dates suit.
Here is the background (Apologies for the length):
For the past 20 years or so, M&T races have consisted of :
Winter - 4 x 2 mile cross-county races from Nov to Mar, depending on dates available. Venues are usually: Swords (Fingallians) , Tymon Park (Sportsworld) , Phoenix Park (Donore) , St Anne's Park (Raheny Shamrocks) and Griffeen Park (Lucan Harriers). We have also used Santry (Clonliffe) and Irishtown (Crusaders)
Summer - 3 built-up races to the mini marathon consisting of 2 mile, 3 mile and four mile runs; in the past we also had the Fingal 8k to round it off. Because of increasing volumes of traffic, finding suitable roads has become difficult. Venues this year were Griffeen Park Lucan, which has new tarmacadam paths and the Phoenix Park. Dunboyne also offered to host a race. Venues used in the past included Templeogue, Tallaght, Dalkey and Raheny.
A successful addition to the calendar in 2007 was a Meet & Train track meet at Irishtown, organised by Crusaders.
What we have to do:
1 Get more clubs and groups in involved, particularly Fit for Life groups operating in the greater Dublin area. For example, there is a new running group in Donadea, Co Kildare, which is organising a 10k on Oct 11. This would make a lovely venue for a M&T race. There is also a running group based in the Curragh. Wicklow also has some nice venues, with running clubs operating in Bray, Greystones and Kilcoole, as has Meath (Dunboyne, Navan, Dunshaughlin, Enfield) .
2 Find more venues. Marlay Park is one option, with DSD willing to give it a go. Any other ideas? Dun Laoghaire pier was one - possibly very early on a Sunday morning! We have never used parks like Malahide and Newbridge. Maybe even stretch as far as Westmeath, which is only an hour away on a Sunday morning (Belvedere House outside Mullingar is gorgeous).
Winter League - possible dates (2 in Nov; 2 after Xmas):
Sun 16 Nov
Sun 23 Nov
Sun 30 Nov
(No dates yet for AAI Races after Xmas).
Sun 18 Jan 2009
Sun 8 Feb
Sun 15 Feb
Sun 22 Feb
Final race to include prizegiving, if possible.
Summer League - for major re-vamp. Series to incorporate the Sportsworld 5 and the mini marathon itself, with team captains assembling times places from the published results of these two races, ie, no extra work for either Sportsworld or the WMM office!)
Possible dates (Easter is April 12) :
Wed 8 April M&T 2 Mile
Sun 26 April M&T 3 mile
Wed 13 May M&T 4 Mile, Phoenix Park, 7.45pm
Sun 24 May Dublin 5 Mile Classic (Sportsworld)
Mon 1 June Flora WMM 10k
Followed by track evening and prizegiving, Fri Jun 5?
Other items for discussion:
- Entry fees for the two series.
- Relationships with adidas re prizes/numbers.
- Eligibility of runners once they improve beyond M&T or FFL standards.
- Establishment of small committee to supervise series and call two meetings a year.
- Website/blog.
- Results.
Please pass on to your members for discussion before the proposed meeting; hopefully we will have news of a date soon.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL FROM BLACKROCK AC!
Hi to one and all...
Our Blackrock club mate and talented athlete Mary Butler has been very unfortunate this week. She went over on her foot while on a training run on Wednesday evening, and broke a bone in her ankle. Her foot is in plaster since Friday.
Mary Butler is one of an elite group of athletes who has competed in ALL 25 WOMEN'S MINI MARATHONS (Betty Behan, our other club mate from Blackrock AC, holds this distinction also).
Most unfortunate for Mary, and truly my heart goes out to Mary at this present time...However, she may turn up on the day being pushed in a wheelchair so that she can maintain her record and fulfil her charity commitment.
Best of good luck to all competing in Monday's Women's Mini Marathon.
Yours in Sport
Patricia Craddock-Smith
PS: Special good luck also to Mary O Colmain of Crusaders, another of the mini marathon "completists" who had a bad ski accident earlier this year, resulting in knee surgery. Unlike Mary B, Mary O C is out of plaster and hopes to hobble around the course on Monday.

MESSAGE FROM SUE
Hi ALL ,
Well another series has come and gone but not without its troubles. Many thanks to LUCAN for bailing us out and hosting 2 races . We need to nail down dates and venues much earlier on. .We need to sit down together as a group and sort this out, so after the mini marathon we will pick a date and meet .Thanks again to LUCAN , DONORE for hosting races .Thanks to PATRICIA , PADDY , DUNCAN from Blackrock who always help out also DOLORES from Fingallians. Sportsworld gave a great hand out in Lucan but I've forgotten who exactly.
HARRY GORMAN from Donore started the races and last Wednesday, swept horse droppings off the course; above and beyond the call of duty !!!!
DAVE HUDSON from Donore and BRENDAN MAHER did great work marking the courses and providing stewards.
Hope that covers you all. See you soon for the meeting , singlets and prize vouchers.
Sue

RAIN STAYS AWAY IN PARK
* More pictures at http://www.flickr.com/photos/lindie/sets/72157605216907797/
Just when the last few runners were heading into the finish straight on the Furze Road in the Phoenix Park, a light drizzle started to fall.
For the first time in a few years, we were not frozen and soaked through at the final four mile run in the annual Meet & Train Summer League, which builds up to the Women's Mini Marathon!
Upfront, Stephanie Bergin of Sportsworld was winning her first M&T race, clocking a time of 24 mins 39 seconds. Anne Ormsby of Fingallians was again second, followed by another pair of SW runners - Edel Madigan and Edel Kelly.
Norma Harnedy in fifth place gave host club Donore their first top ten placing of the series, while sixth was Deirdre Shields of Fingallians. Full results will be sorted out over the next day or so, with the prize presentation taking part in a conjunction with a special get-together to discuss the future of the Meet & Train Leagues.
With well over 80 turning out this was the best attended race of the year - and hopefully we can get over the hundred again soon, with the support not only of Sportsworld, Fingallians, Lucan, Blackrock, Donore and Crusaders but also of Clonliffe, Tallaght, Dunboyne, Raheny and other groups.
* Thanks to the catering staff in Donore Sportscentre - the cup of tea was most welcome.

For the first time in a few years, we were not frozen and soaked through at the final four mile run in the annual Meet & Train Summer League, which builds up to the Women's Mini Marathon!
Upfront, Stephanie Bergin of Sportsworld was winning her first M&T race, clocking a time of 24 mins 39 seconds. Anne Ormsby of Fingallians was again second, followed by another pair of SW runners - Edel Madigan and Edel Kelly.
Norma Harnedy in fifth place gave host club Donore their first top ten placing of the series, while sixth was Deirdre Shields of Fingallians. Full results will be sorted out over the next day or so, with the prize presentation taking part in a conjunction with a special get-together to discuss the future of the Meet & Train Leagues.
With well over 80 turning out this was the best attended race of the year - and hopefully we can get over the hundred again soon, with the support not only of Sportsworld, Fingallians, Lucan, Blackrock, Donore and Crusaders but also of Clonliffe, Tallaght, Dunboyne, Raheny and other groups.
* Thanks to the catering staff in Donore Sportscentre - the cup of tea was most welcome.

SECOND WIN FOR LORNA IN LUCAN
Lorna Quinn of Sportsworld made it two from two in the Meet & Train Summer League round two race at Lucan over three miles.
By clever use of the new tarmac paths in Griffeen Park, Lucan Harriers had devised a new one lap route around the park, which was tough but won universal approval. What a relief not having to dodge the traffic!
Lorna had Winter League winner Anne Ormsby of Fingallians for company in the first half of the race, but then pulled away to win in a time of 18 mins 57 secs - 6.20 minute miling.
Anne was second in 19.17, with Stephanie Bergin of Sportsworld third. Most impressive sprint finish came from Delia Ho of Belfield/Crusaders, who has only started training in a past few weeks.
Final Summer League Round over 4 miles is in the Phoenix Park (Furze Road) on Wed May 21 (7.45pm). Race HQ is the Donore Sports Centre in Chapelizod, a ten minute jog away. Walkers are welcome and (provisionally) will set off at 7.30. Info Sue Lynch at 086-2327570.

FULL RESULT FROM RACE1 IN LUCAN
Lorna Quinn of Sportsworld was a comfortable winner for the much-anticipated Meet & Train Summer League 2-Mile race hosted around the traffic-free paths of Griffeen Park by Lucan Harriers.
Lorna, who took a year off running to study, finished in 11 mins 56 secs and not even the fast -finishing Anne Ormsby of Fingallians could catch her.
Despite the last-minute notice of this race, large groups turned out from Sportsworld, Fingallians and Lucan, with representatives also running from Blackrock, Donore and Crusaders. Good to see a number of newcomers racing for the first time and big thanks to all who helped out. General verdict: great course, lovely cup of tea!
Next round over three miles will also take place in Lucan on Wednesday May 7, starting 8pm. Entry is Eu7 with spot prizes on the night and overall prizes for best individual and team performances after the final race.

MARY WINS AT LAST!
Of course, Anne Ormsby of Fingallians had to be beaten sometime and despite a heroic effort it happened at the final Winter League, held in clear, crisp conditions at St Anne's Park, Raheny.
Mary Finn of Sportsworld had made the early break at the last round in Tymon Park, but despite an injury problem, Anne came back to win.
This time, there was no catching Mary, who was part of the leading group after the first of the mile laps. With 200m to go, it was clear that victory was hers. She crossed the line in 13 mins 28 secs, with Anne just six seconds adrift for second place. Third was Kathleen O'Callaghan of Sportworld, who had missed the previous race, while fourth was Bronagh Snow of Fingallians.
A lost car key meant the overall results couldn't be complied after the race as planned, but these are now available; see below. Anne Ormsby, with three wins from four, is clearly the winning individual, while Fingallians A just pipped Sportsworld A by a single point to win the diamond class. FIngallians B won the gold section; Blackrock B were best in silver and Lucan C in bronze.
All who completed three of the four races got a handy red rain jacket (very appropriate since the majority of clubs running M&T have some class of a red singlet. Clubs who wear other colours are of course very welcome to join in!)
Big thanks to our friends in Raheny Shamrocks for hosting the race and getting the use of the Cara Hall for registration and tea. We look forward to returning here for the first round of the Summer League over two miles on Sunday April 20(tbc), when hopefully some Northside runners (apart from Fingallians) will join in. Westsiders would also be welcome!

ANNE MAKES IT THREE
Before - and after!
Anne Ormsby may have been suffering from sore knees but she showed no signs of it when she made it three from three in the M&T Winter League at Tymon Park, Templeogue, Dublin.
On the first lap. Mary Finn of host club Sportsworld pushed on hard and had built up quite a gap on the water-logged and muddy course, which many of the women found deceptively undulating (ie, it looked flat but it wasn't really).
But Anne is a past master at coming from behind and she did it again, racing away on the second of the two laps to cross the line in 13 mins 55 secs. Exactly 27 seconds behind was Mary Finn, with her Sportsworld Crona Byrne in third and Bronagh Snow of Fingallians fourth. Coming in almost together for fifth and sixth places were Derval McCarthy of Lucan and Sportsworld's Eileen Dalton.
Well done to Paddy and his team on a great race. Now all that remains is the Raheny round of the league in St Anne's Park on Sunday 17 February - that's after next Sunday's Axa Raheny 5 (3pm), which is the first of the year's major road races, with over 2,000 expected.
Entry is Eu15 online or Eu30 on the day. Parking is available at the big church in Raheny village; even better, take the bus or DART.
Tymon Park, Dublin - 1 A Ormsby (Fingallians) 13.55; 2 M Finn (Sportsworld) 14.22; 3 C Brady (Sportsworld) 14.38; 4 B Snow (Fingallians (14.54; 5 D McCarthy (Lucan) 15.09; 6 E Dalton (Sportsworld) 15.10.

Tymon Park Venue for Winter League Rd 3
The venue for the next Meet & Train Winter League race on Sunday January 20 (11am start) has changed to Tymon Park in Templeogue because of problems with the field at Terenure College.
As an alternative, Paddy from Sportsworld has secured Faughs GAA Club on Wellington Lane (behind the Spawell) as race HQ. Even better, this time they won't charge us for the tea and biscuits!
* Newcomers - especially those of you who have made New Year's resolutions to get fit - are more than welcome to come along and run/walk.
