Mini League Report
The Annual Mini Club league
between Ratoath, Dunboyne, Dunshaughlin and Tara was held last Sunday at
Dunboyne Ac, We had a great turnout out from our u9s and 10s, but were missing
a lot of our athletes at U11 and 12. We had some great individual performances
from all age groups on the day, the U9s were particularly impressive scoring a
total of 77 points out of our overall point’s total of 198, the U10’s performed
well also scoring 48 points, the U11 despite only having 4 athletes competing scored
50 points, while the u12’s with only 2 athletes competing scored 23 points. The
league title on the day was initially awarded to Ratoath Ac but with the
results being so close the score sheets were re-checked and on the recount
Dunboyne won by 5 points with a total of 203 points. This was a great
experience for our younger athletes many of whom were competing for the first
time. A reminder that the first day of the Meath Inter Club Track and Field
league takes place this Wednesday the 26th at Cushinstown indoor
track, age groups competing will be U10, U12, U14, U15, Junior, Seniors and
Masters.

Leinster Indoors Day 2 - 9th Feb
The club quartet of Peter Kilgannon, Colm Keogh, Ciaran McCarthy and Peter Doherty smashed the senior indoor 4 X 200m record when finishing third behind Menapians & Donore Harriers and recorded a time of 1 min 37.59 sec in the Leinster senior indoor championships.
Peter Doherty and Siobheal Cummins continue to rack up their personal haul of Leinster titles with good wins in the 60M M2 (7.49 sec) and High Jump M3 (1.40m), respectively. Colm Keogh also added to his impressive indoor medal collection when taking silver in the 60M M 1 recording a time of 7.64 sec.

Leinster Schools Cross Country - 12 Feb 2014
Heavy overnight rain ensured that the course in Santry Demesne was testing for the Leinster schools cross country championships. Interest, from a Ratoath athletic club perspective, centred on the senior girls & intermediate boys races.
Deirdre Healy ran another cracking race with a close up fourth place finish behind Siofra Cleirigh Buttner, Sarah Fitzpatrick and and Ella Fennelly. Deirdre started cautiously and was 7th going into the last lap but put in a very strong finish to catch Linda Conroy and Isobelle Odlum on the run to the line. The fact that the first six athletes in this race have all competed internationally, demonstrates the strength in depth in this age group.
The intermediate boys race over 4500m was another exciting affair with up to 10 athletes still in contention going into the last lap. This included our own Alex Hunter who briefly held the lead on the last lap but had to settle for 11th behind the eventual winner Shane Hughes from Mullingar. Philip Marron and Ciaran McCarthy (despite getting spiked) both ran very positive races and finished 16th and 51st. Philip had particular hard luck as the first 15 athletes qualify for the All Ireland in Cork next month but both he and Alex are eligible to run in this race again next year.
