Summer League Dates

This year's Meet and Train Summer League will start with a two-mile run/walk on Wednesday April 29 (8pm) at Raheny. Registration until 7.30pm is at the Cara Hall on All Saints' Road (near where the Axa Raheny "5" starts - opposite Raheny GAA and Garda station and about a 10-minute walk from the DART). Tea, biccies and spot prizes after the run.
Second run in the series is the 3-mile run at Lucan on Sunday May 10 (11am) followed by the 4-mile run in the Phoenix Park on Wednesday May 20 (7.45pm).
The runs/walks build up nicely to the Flora Women's Mini marathon on Monday June 1. Entry fee for the series is Eu15 or Eu6 per race (I think). All who finish will get a special series souvenir.
* Don't forget the 25th anniversary Dublin 5 Mile Classic organsied by our friends in Sportsworld on Sunday May 17 with the start at 10am - good news for those who have busy weekends. Entry is Eu15 (Eu20 on day) at the Sportsworld website.
Meet and Train info from Sue 087-6757843.
* All who competed the Winter League are due a special Series "hoodie" in royal blue - which looks very smart indeed! Your group leader should have them; otherwise contact Sue.

Urgent: Meeting Monday 9 March

Hi All ,
Well we finally got to the end of our Winter League (not without its hiccups).
Many thanks to the clubs who hosted races: Lucan, Sportsworld , Fingallians and Crusaders. Thanks to our helpers without whom we would be lost - Patricia, Paddy and Duncan from Blackrock; Dolores from Fingallians and all the clubs who give helpers & stewards on the day.

SUMMER LEAGUE.
We need to meet to arrange summer dates and so have set a date of next Monday March 9 ( 7.30) in Donore Sports Centre, Chapelizod. Please send at least one person from your club/group.
Hope to see you all there!
Regards Sue.

Cindy Wins Final Winter League Race

Well done to Cindy Hickey who won her first Meet and Train race for Fingallians at Irishtown. With two second places and a win, Cindy was the overall individual winner of the league. First indicidual (ie not on a team) was Angela McEvoy of RTE. Veteran category winners were W50 Elaine Murray (Blackrock), W55 Josie Power (Fingallians) and Hilary Wright (Crusaders).
Big thanks to Crusaders who provided a lovely two-mile course out to Irishtown Nature Reserve - if we're invited we'll certainly be back!
* Now for the Summer League which builds up to the Women's Mini Marathon on June 1: a meeting to fix dates and venues will take place in Donore Sports Centre on Monday March 9 (7.30). Come along and have your say!
PS: In case anyone didn't realise, the lovely fruit cake on Sunday came from none other than Olympic marathon runner Pauline Curley, who is a professional chef in real life - and clearly as good a baker as she is a runner!
