Egg cellent Easter running


Fr Murphy AC staged their 5 mile road race on Easter Sunday around the village of Kildalkey. The reasonably flat course took the field of 163 around the townlands of Moyrath, Rathcormack, Ballinadrimna and Baskinagh. The crisp cold day ensured that everyone ws eager to break a sweat as quickly as possible when the starters pistol sounded. Trim AC was well represented and a number of our members reported back to training on Tuesday night with new Pbs for the distance.


In addition to new personal achievements our members scored individual and team placings. The womens masters team won its grade led home by Clare Smith with Laura Cotter and Ann Tobin adding to the winning aggregate time tally. In the masters 35-49 mens competition the Trim team of Quinton Bourke, Don Mahon and Declan Swords acquited themselves well by taking third spot behind two of the strongest masters club teams in the country, Dunshaughlin and Dunboyne. The club also medalled in the masters 50+ grade with Pat Comey leading Ciaran Tobin and David Hawcroft home in front.
