Fencing erected around Ratoath Track
Eoin Clayton, with the assistance of two elderly club members (pictured) are currently erecting (Sat 15 Oct) fencing around our track to enhance health and safety conditions especially when athletics and rugby training times coincide. The lads are putting in a heavy shift and will be there for most of the day so if anyone wants to drop down with a flask of hot complan, multi vitamin tablets or some sandwiches it would be greatly appreciated
Sincere thanks to Eoin Clayton, Peter Doherty, Hugh Kelly and Ciaran Buckley for all their hard work on a wet and miserable Saturday morning.

Meath Cross Country Championships
The Meath even and un-even age
Cross Championships took place over the past two weekends with Day 1 hosted by
St. Andrew’s Ac Ashbourne and Day 2 by Fr. Murphy’s Ac Athboy.
Our u14 girls put in a fine performance seeing that our
entire team were all moving up an age, Aimee Doherty finishing second with the
girls also taking silver in the team event. Our u14 boys put in the team performance
of the day taking team gold with Marcus Clarke, Matthew Hayes and Oisin Kelly
securing the 1,2,3 on the podium followed home by Kyle Witter 6th Fionn Drummond 7th
and Ciaran Rogers, Killian Stratford, Stephen Kiernan 12th,13th
& 14th.
Our u16 girl’s team of Karen Hayes, Aoife Kelly &
Niamh Boshell were in the medals also finishing 3rd over the 3.5k
distance. Aine O’ Connor finished 2nd in the u18 girls race and was
followed in by Aoife Reynolds and Niamh Gannon to take 3rd in the
team event. Adam Quinn, Fergal Kilgannon and Harrys Haskins finished 3rd in the boys u16 team event.
Ciaran Quinn was our sole competitor in the u18 boy’s event after a
few late withdrawals due to injury, Ciaran put in a fine performance over the
6k distance finishing 3rd.
Our youngest club competitors
kicked off the action on Day 2 with
the u9 girls and boys securing their first cross country medals with bronze and
silver in the team events. Our u11 girls put in another great team performance
with great individual runs from Sarah Forde 2nd, Cara O’ Sullivan 3rd,
Caoimhe Fitzsimons 4th followed closely by Niamh Murphy, Ciara Coroner, Kate
Raftery, Lauren Fewer Jane Dolan, Corina Wade and Sadhbh Kelly to take our
first team gold of the day. Our u13 girls followed that performance taking another team
gold with great individual performances from Aimee Doherty 1st,
Amelia Campbell 2nd and Laura Smith 5th. Great credit to
Eabha Toole who fell at the start of the race, Eabha showed great determination
to pick herself up making up big ground to finish 12th which
proved vital with the team only winning by one point. Good running also from
Emily Heather, Ciara Walsh and Grace Conway. Our u13 boys just missed out on
gold by a single point in the team competition with great running from Kyle
Witter taking individual bronze, Fionn Drummond 5th, Eoin Kane 6th
and Stephen Walsh 14th. Marcus Clarke, Matthew Hayes, Oisin Kelly
and Adam Quinn put in a good performance in a very competitive field finishing
3rd in the team event. Last but not least our elder statesmen Philip
Marron, Ciaran Crowther and Peter Kilgannon finished off the day in great style
with a terrific individual gold for Philip and team gold for the lads in the junior men’s race,
this will be a team to watch at Leinster and National level.
Well done to all
athletes who competed over both weekends and best of luck to all who have
qualified for Leinster.
