Sandra Lawler was once again in action in Nenagh this weekend at the irish junior championships. Sandra won the 60m hurdles with ease PHOTO
Our newest member of the club Damian Kirwan competed in the V2 section of the masters and came 3rd in the 60m in a fantastic time of 8.21 secs. Well done Sandra and Damian!
Due to the demand of athletes enquiring about a senior section to the club we have decided to set one up. This club will be open to anyone 19 and over who would like to get fit, run for fun and also for the serious athlete. We have a 110m tartan track and also a 400m grass track. Training will be every Tuesday evening from 4th March, starting at 8.00 p.m. (after the juveniles training session) to start off with and to see the demand. If you are interested please meet at our track at 7.45p.m.
The track is situated behind St. Wolsten’s Community School on the Clane Road. You enter through the gates at the school and continue down the road. The track will be on the right hand side.
Looking forward to seeing you then.
Celbridge AC have some second hand spikes in our possession which we will sell off for a small donation to the club on Tuesday next 19th at 6.45p.m. down in the clubhouse. Some of these spikes are in great condition and anyone interested come along and try them on. Also, anyone with spikes which no longer fit and would like to donate them please bring them along and recycle them.
Sandra Lawler competed for Celbridge AC and Leinster in Kelvin Hall in Scotland last weekend and once again proved to all that she is the one to beat when she won the girls u20 60m hurdles. Sandra competes in the National Junior indoor championships on Sunday next 17th in Nenagh.
Please note that Breda/Tom’s group will not be indoors this Thursday 7th or 14th. Training will take place on the track instead. So come prepared for outdoors!
