It is vital that all girls continue to turn up to training each week. New members always welcome.

Coolquill Athletic Club

Last Sunday 27th March the Munster Masters road championships were held in perfect conditions in Ballyneale.  Once again Matt Alexander was the man in form with a marvellous run in the O/55 section of the menÕs four mile race when taking the individual bronze medal.  HeÕs definitely getting better with age and was an important member of the county team that won gold.  In the club section, along with Matt, we had Leslie Smyth and Martin Ivors running hard but outside the medals when finishing fourth team.  In the O/35 and upwards category, Joe Kearney ran very well but didnÕt make the county team that won the title.

This Sunday March 3rd, we are heading off to Dundrum for the County Intermediate road starting at 1pm.
