Extra Training for Cross Country Relays Friday 7:15pm

We'll be having an extra training session for Cross country relays this Friday 7:15 at the track. Note only for the Athletes interested and available to run on Sun 18th Dec. Distances are 250m for U10 and U12 and 500m for U14 and U16. Note U9's can run in the U10 teams etc and so it would be great to have loads of teams there just for the experience of running a short cross country race. Teamer texts will go out shortly. There is no €2 required for this session.

Fundraiser at Fairyhouse Cookery School

A great time was had last night at Fairyhouse Cookery school where Billy and Co. demonstrated the making of a wonderful warming sweet potato and coconut soup, crostini and toppings, an Asian beef and vegetable casserole, and a coffee tiramisu. We got to sample everything and they were delicious.
Special thanks to all our sponsors:

Supervalue, Ratoath sponsored beef, chicken and salmon ingredients for the cookery demonstration.
