where Midleton AC’s Daniel Colbert WON the National U23 400H Championships. This is something never before done in the club even in the days of the greats..
Daniel ran a fantastic race where he led from start to finish recovering
very quickly from a slight mishap coming to the last hurdle he never faltered
and came home a clear winner. This young man continues to improve with every
race and it is wonderful to see his hard work and dedication paying off. It was
a fantastic morning in the CIT to be able to stand there and cheer home a
NATIONAL CHAMPION from Midleton AC’s senior section. Well done Daniel your club is truly proud of you.
Heading down to the start line.

Message from Mallow Athletic Club
First of all on behalf of Mallow AC I would like to apologise for the unacceptable delay in delivering the T-Shirts that you were promised when the technical T-shirts were not supplied for our race.
At the time we were told by the supplier that they would manufacture and distribute the new t-shirts on our behalf.
This promise was not kept and we have found it difficult to get information as to the status of the t-shirts and the expected delivery dates.
We were being continually assured that the T-shirts were to be delivered in the next few days, and as it was out of our hands we took these updates at face value.Some T-Shirts were delivered but as yet we don’t know who has received them, but again we have been assured that all remaining T-shirts will be delivered next week.
All we can do is guarantee that we will get t-shirts to all finishers however long it takes and apologise again for the delay.
Thanks for your understanding
Denis Sheehan

Thursday night saw some great running again from all our members including several PBs Rayleen Dolphin, Laura Kelleher and Bernie Twomey amongst them whilst Louise Barry managed to knock 10secs of her Ballintotis time and also get a PB. Our first man home was Emmet Ronan who despite not getting a PB had a fine run and took 1st O/40 prize.
Our first lady home was again Helen Gilroy who was well pleased with her run despite having led all the way was just pipped on the line ( 3secs) and came 2nd overall. Well done Helen. Eileen Leahy also had a great run and took 1st Jnr in a great time of 27.16.
We had several placed athletes who didn't get prizes but one can't complain as the entry fee was low and its for a good cause.
The barbecue after was superb as always and great value as well as lending a lovely atmosphere to the whole event.
Other prize winners were
Esther Murphy 2nd O/40
Eileen Leahy 1st Jnr
Ladies enjoying the afters,
Helen Gilroy receiving her prize 2nd Lady Overall.
