Well done to all the Eagles  who participated in the County Masters Track & Field Championships at CIT on Sunday 19th May.  The team consisted of Eugene O’Connor, Ken Higgs, Neil Kingston, Richard Hawkins, Tom Fox and Pat Murphy. Some great performances and times as well as a very impressive medal haul – 5 gold, 6 silver and 3 bronze! (I think!)

A number of club members headed to Rosscarbery on Saturday  for some ‘surf’ , ‘turf’ and ‘tar’!  We had 9 members take part in the half marathon, with 2 members running in the 10k. They were tough but very enjoyable and well organised runs.

Congrats to Karen Bevan who picked up a category prize for 1st F40 in the half.
