To all clubs in Meath Running League

In order to prepare league standings for the Awards Night I require all clubs who hosted races this past year within the Meath Race League to supply me with complete results in excel format before Friday 2nd November 2012. In the absence of such results I will compile results using the very limited number of results made available to me. Those races (with the exception of the Meath Half Marathon) that were in their inaugural year are not included within the Race League and do not need to comply with this request. I would thank those clubs who have already facilitated me in this regard. Philip Cogavin

St Brigids thank the schools

Hi everyone, On behalf of St. Brigid’s AC I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the schools for their participation in the Geraldine Dolan Memorial Cross Country Meet earlier today (Tuesday the 9th of October 2012), at Ballinacree, Oldcastle, Co. Meath. While the fine weather helped the occasion, it was the huge number of competitors (over 440 from 18 different schools) that turned up, along with all the teachers that made the day a success, so thanks very much. Final results are now attached, with congratulations going to St. Finian’s, Mullingar on winning the overall event & receiving the Geraldine Dolan Perpetual Cup. Looking forward to seeing you all back again next year. Yours in Sport, Martin J Heery Club Secretary

Cross country gets summery weather!!!

The first day of the Meath county cross country championships were hosted by the St Brigids Athletic club at their grounds in Ballinacree on Sunday. The event was blessed with one of the finest days of weather all year. The testing course had dried out well over the weekend and a good day of racing was helped by a very smooth schedule carried out by the host club and the officials of Meath athletics board. The mens race over six one kilometre laps included the under 18 novice and masters grades.First across the line overall was Robert Tully from Star of the Sea AC who underlined his potential when winning the under 18 title. The novice title was won by the improving Rory Kavanagh from Dunboyne AC, who led his club to the novice team title with a clean sweep of the medals. Kavanagh was followed closely home by colleagues Loughlin Campion a recent recruit to the Dunboyne ranks and the experienced Morgan McDonagh. In the masters competition there was the usual crew of talented old timers battling it out for honours. Dermot Clarke, Bohermeen finished third overall and won the M50 grade ahead of Paddy Mangan. The other masters categories were won by Don Mahon,Tommy Maher,and Eddie Reid. In the womens race the first runner home was Emilia Dan, Dunboyne AC . with Linda Fahy, Dunshaughlin taking second spot ahead of her training colleague Ursula Byrne who took the top spot in the F45.
