Club Notes…by Karen Bevan

Hope everyone is keeping well this evening.

I’m pretty sure everyone enjoyed the club summer BBQ last Saturday, it was a great night out. Our thanks to those who put the time in to make it a success especially Damian, Mairead, Colin and many more behind the scenes. The medals for the first half of the year were presented including those won in Munster and County championships races, the county roads, track and field events and more, needless to say Eagle AC has had a very successful year to date, keep up the amazing work! The Eagle AC summer series medals and prizes were also given out on the night and well done to everyone who took part in the series races. As mentioned below a report will be written on the Summer Series and published on the Eagle AC website, we can include this in next weeks email too.

Well done also to those who turned out to run the Clonmel boston scientific half marathon the Clonakilty 10 mile last Sunday, and of course the other races in the week plenty of results below.

Best wishes and enjoy the weekend running!
