Hi all,
Firstly we would like to congratulate all DSDAC athletes who took part in the Dublin Juvenile Uneven Age Cross Country Championships in Citywest on Sunday 3rd November - for some it was their first Championships while others are seasoned competitors – we were delighted to see so many smiling faces during the day.
An enormous thank you must go out to our DSD volunteers on the day – Joan, Mary Rose, Gill, Tony, Eoin, John and Ruben – without the generosity and active participation of all Clubs in providing volunteers these events could not go ahead. The Dublin County Board would also like to extend their thanks to all Club officials.
Thank you also must go to our fantastic coaches for their commitment and dedication who ensured that their athletes were well prepared for the Championships and were full of enthusiasm and support on the day!
A special mention and many congratulations must go to the athletes and teams who won medals on the day and will be going on to represent the Club at the National Juvenile Uneven Age Cross Country Championships which will be held in Tramore, County Waterford on Sunday 1st December 2024.
Congratulations also to our U9 athletes who won Individual and Team medals in the Dublin wide Championships!
If there is sufficient interest – we will look at block booking accommodation if athletes would like to travel down the day before and stay overnight. Once the teams have been confirmed by coaches – we will also look at potential travel arrangements.
