Sara Treacy from Moynalvey/Kilcloon AC represented Ireland in the Womens
U/23 race at Albufuera, Portugal last Sunday.She was the first Irish
finisher in 28th place. Great to see a runner whose early career often included laps of the Porchfield at Meath CC cships competing in the big time.
In the junior mens race Shane Quinn (Ferrybank AC) led the Irish challenge
with a very good 12th place finish. He is the grandson of one our club
founders Mrs Sheila Quinn ( formerly of the Maudlins) and son of the long
time Irish steeplechase record holder Brendan Quinn who was among the first
recruits to our club in the early 70s.when it was the Yellow Steeple AC.
Another member of the Irish team with connections in the town is Fionnula Britton, the brave and gutsy 4th placer in the senior womens race. Catherine Moran of Trim Jewellers, Market St is her proud aunt.
