The second leg of the league takes place in Kilcock (St. Coca’s) on Saturday next 26th May at 2.00 p.m. Meet at 1.30 sharp. Directions in menu.  It is very important that everyone turns up as we are coming third in the competition at present. We only had 24 athletes turn up for the last leg in Newbridge. If we field a good team it is very possible that we could move up into second place. Remember, all athletes must wear club singlet and shorts and entry fee is 3 euro.

Our fundraiser, Liam Hyde has organised a car boot sale to take place this Saturday in the car park of Celbridge House Pub from 9.30 am.  If anyone has any items they wish to donate for a stall they can be brought down on Saturday morning. All enquiries to Liam on 085-7423271.

The leinster relays will take place this year in Navan on Sunday next 20th May.  Nine teams will travel to this championship.  Boys u10, Boys u11, Boys u15 and Boys u16 teams are entered.  Girls u11, Girls u12, Girls u13, Girls u14 and Girls u15 teams are also entered.  All athletes will be notified at training if they are included.

Congratulations to everyone who took part in the second part of the county championships last Sunday.  On a very windy day our athletes performed brilliantly and again won lots of medals.  Results soon.

What we need is someone with a van/pick up truck or trailor that could help us move our hurdles from the Salesian College down to the container at out new track.  If anyone can help us would you please phone Finola 087/4121375.  Thanks

What we also need is parents who would be willing to help out at training.  We have been hit quite a lot with illness within the coaches this year and to help with the smooth running of the club it would be great to have a list of people who might help out at short notice for the night or even full time (if they wanted) with training the athletes.  We would always put these ‘helpers’ with a qualified coach, so no experience necessary!  Help is always accepted and welcome Please give your name or talk to Finola for more info.  Thanks

Part two of the county championships take place in Naas (directions in Menu) on Sunday next 13th May at 12.00. Please meet at 11.15 a.m. for warm up and number. We were so successfull in part one, winning lots of medals, lets hope we can do the same again on Sunday. Don’t forget to wear club singlet and shorts! All athletes can take part in the track events but only three in the field events. Whatever events the girls did last time the boys will now do this week and vice versa. See list in Co. Championships post - Newbridge

On Tuesday next 8th May, it is important that all athletes attend training as trials for the leinster relays to be held in Navan on 20th May will be held.  These relays are great fun and we as a club have a very strong record of winning lots of medals over the years.  Please let the coaches know if an athlete is unavailable for selection.
