At the Morton Games on Friday 11th July Ryan O’Neill ran well in the Under 20 mile.
Denis Daly has only gone and done it again creating more work for the admin team here at Rathfarnham WSAF. The race was Le Mike Bishop Agonac 10k, Dordogne, Bastille day run on 14th July 2025. In his own words ‘I seem to be less slow than everybody else in 35°C, 85% humidity and 220m climb!’
Great experience for our under 14 girls (Siún Broderick, Rosie Shields, Alice Wilson and Siobhan Murray) getting to the nationals juvenile Track and Field Championships on Sunday 13th July in the 4x100m relay. There was very tough competition out there and they did the club proud. Two of the team are also eligible to run U.13s as well. Another big shout out to Ciara MacDonnacha who was 12th in the U17 long jump in 4.44 metres.
