MENAPIANS A.C.

View Original

The Croghan Chase took place today and a few club members took the spin to the North of the County to take part. In the 8k race we had Fran Power representing. In the 4k we had Alex Donohue, Sinead Ryan and Clodagh Dunbar. Well done to all 4 for getting stuck in over the Christmas break.

Congratulations to Alex who finished in 2nd place and Clodagh who finished in 1st place showing great form coming into 2020.

A special mention to our youngest member Molly who took on the 150m kids race for her debut as a Menapian.

Also well done to John & Sharron Dier who took part in the Slaney Olympic Christmas Cracker recently.

The Christmas holiday saw reduced club activity with some training sessions taking place but not all.

On Christmas Day we had members working up an appetite before dinner at the Racecourse Parkrun. Martin Kelly 23.20, Tadhg Henderson 24.20, Louise Henderson 27.52 & Sinead Ryan 32.18 all ran the 5k before heading off to tackle the Christmas dinner. Well done to John & Sharron Dier who added in an extra parkrun for people to run.

On St Stephen's Day we had a number of members and their families taking part in the annual Goal Mile on Wexford Quayfront.

Saturday 28th was a return to the normal parkrun and 10 members went to stretch their legs. Dermot Foley 20.23, Finbarr Bradley 23.16, Martin Kelly 24.59, John Dier 24.31, Terry Walsh 25.02, Fran Power 26.09, Orla Redmond 28.39, Sinead Ryan 32.35, Luke & Janette Mulvanney 52.47 (in their final act as Menapians, wishing you well in the future).
