Last weekend we had a celebratory morning in the c Last weekend we had a celebratory morning in the club where we recognised two members with Honorary membership of Civil Service Harriers. Willie Devine known to many of us has been a member of the club for 60 years with a very impressive athletics record along with a stellar work on committies, coaching and support over the years. Willie was a man of few words yesterday but did tell us he was instrumental in the extension of the club about 1999 where we have the ladies changing rooms and bar extension area now. Liam Hennessy who had a great record in the early 1970s with the club citing some impressive achievements in races. He then moved on to have very significant contributions to athletics in Ireland over several decades. Among them serving as President of Athletics Ireland from 2008 to 2012 and organising many major international events in Ireland, including the European Cross Country Championships in Dublin, the European Team Championships, and the World Cross Country Championships in both Dublin and Limerick. Very well deserved to you both and we are honoured to have you as club members. Thank you to Leonie, Barry, Sinead and all who organised the morning along with the captains and coaches for a great run out on the trails beforehand.

Our runners have been in action in the 5k in Tallaght, the half marathon in Bohermeen, the HOKA and Run Hub relay at Porterstown, the National Masters Cross Country Championships at Abbotstown and the Dunboyne 10k.

Thankfully with the clocks going forward we're back to training in the daylight on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7pm. Happy Easter to all our members and followers!
