The Annual General Meeting of Ratoath Athletic Club will take place in the Ratoath GAA Club House on Wednesday October 16th @9pm.
The 123.ie National U20 & U23’s Championships took place on the 3rd of August in Tullamore.
Ratoath AC was exceptionally well represented with almost 40 of our club athletes descending on to the Tullamore track for the last time this season. There was an added goal in sight for our U20 athletes and this was to qualify for the U20 European Club Championships. A tough task as a National Championships always draws Irelands top athletes and clubs out to compete. But with our club’s strong team ethics plus a lot of talent and determination, a few PB’s and club/championship records broken for a third year in a row, we are the Irish U20 champions and we will represent Ireland at the European U20 Championships in Portugal on the 21st and 22nd of September.
This great display of top performances across many events at the championships is showing the thriving junior /senior section within the club, which is fundamentally important in the clubs future and keeping our young adults in athletics.
Our U20 girls 4 X100m relay team of Enya Silkena, Aisling Stratford, Aisling Stratford, Katie Doherty broke the Championship record in an impressive time of 47.97
Club Records smashed by Eve Money U20 800m. U20 4kg Shot Enya Silkena, U20 Javelin James Kelly PB 33.09 = his dad’s Club Record, Emmanuel Osas broke the club senior men’s 110m Hurdle record and he also took the U23 National title. Katie Doherty took gold in the U20 100m earning her a PB and a club record. Marcus Clarke was crowned National Champion after his strong run to the finish in the U23 Mens 3K Steeplechase.
As well as many superb efforts put in by all our athletes there is great appreciation and praise due to the immense efforts and teamwork of the coaches, the club committee /administrators, and the parents, without whom our continued success would not be possible.
Our focus now turns to the U20 European Club Championships in September and our fundraising committee have been busy organising events: a music bingo night on August 30th in the Ratoath Inn €50 for a table of 4 with a mammoth raffle. Please contact ratoathathletics.ie if you would like to purchase a ticket or donate to the raffle. Our fundraising committee have also set up a go fund me account : https://gofund.me/a34a829f
We would greatly appreciate your support.
