County Senior cross country at Porchfields
Trim Athletic Club hosted the
Meath senior cross country championships and
juvenile inter club relays.On a day ideal for cross country running there
were some great performances n the Meath senior cross country championships.
The course which had all the right ingredients and gradients for
championship racing was in great condition for the final event of the
season. The mens race was over an eight kilometre course and thee womens
decider was over four kilometres.
In the senior mens race Darragh Rennicks returned from his Kansas college
for his county champiosnhip and carried the colours of Bohermeen with pride
to a third county senior title. He was a joy to watch powering out from the
gun in the company of Luke Forde, Dunboyne. He extended his lead in the mid
section of the race as Robbie Matthews, Dunshaughlin patiently worked his
way into the silver medal spot. The eventual third placed man Eoin Callaghan
continued his impressive return to competitive athletics by taking third and
leading his team mates Rob Tully, Andrew Coscoran and brother Neil Callaghan
from Star of the Sea to a great win in the team event.
In the womens event Fiona Mahon put in a storming performance score an
impressive win. Fiona recently returned to the Meath club scene when she
joined Dunshaughlin AC.and led their team to the club title with Shauna
Moran, Linda Fahey and Shauna Moore. Emilia Dan, Dunboyne AC put in another
great run for second and club mate Karen O Hanlon took third spot.

Second Level schools cross country
The Meath 2nd level CC will be staged on the
grounds of Franciscan College Gormanstown on Thursday 15 Nov. This event is
organised by the Meath Co Athletics Board. There has been a worrying trend in
recent years where this event actually attracts better support from schools in
Louth, Cavan and Westmeath than it does from schools within the county. There
is a worrying apathy from Meath schools. TRIM AC and
the County Athletics Board request that parents bring this matter to the
attention of the schools and encourage the schools to take part.
Code of Ethics
Meath Athletics Board is hosting a Code of
Ethics for Children in Athletics course: Date: 6th November Time: 7.00pm – 10pm
Venue: Claremont Stadium, Navan This course is essential for all volunteers
working with juvenile athletes or vulnerable adults. The course is free to
Meath members and there is currently 10 places available on a first come first
served basis. Email moiraaston@athleticsireland.ie
Trim at the marathon
Trim AC was very well
represented at the 2012 Dublin city Marathon on Monday morning. Over 14,000 took

popularity of running events at the moment. The weather conditions were good
for this time of year and a number of our experienced runners set new PBs on
the day. The club also had a number of debutants who were extremely pleased
with their marathon experiences.
The club results to hand are as follows: Sean Murphy, 2.51, Quinton Bourke, 3.05,Joe McNamara,3.08,Don Mahon,3.19,Andrew Linsley,3.20 ,Maureen Lowther,3.30, Mark Melia,3.37, Claire Smith,3.43 Brendan Conway,3.47,Brian Grant,3.59,Thomas Gallagher,3.51,Stephen Byrne, 3.54,Kevin Horan,4.00,Anita Rogers,4.47,Majella Thompson,4.47,Paula Hegarty,4.47,Heather Carty,4.51.
