Co. Intermediate Road Race
Eleven members took the trip to the North of the county as Croghan AC were the hosts of this year's Intermediate RR in Inch.
A warm evening as as athletes from the county's clubs warmed up ahead of their races, 1 lap for ladies and 2 laps for men.
Ladies were first to the start line and some brilliant runs by Ilze, Jen, Catherine & Louise were rewarded with County Silver Team medals. A fantastic achievement congratulations ladies.
After the completion of the ladies race the men lined up and Anthony, Tony, Donal, Dermot, Conor, Tadgh & John ran superbly on the night.
A proud night for Menapians AC.

SIAB Games.
It's not often you get to represent your school, club, County, province and country all at the same time but that he did.
Elijah Page Redmond had the honour of wearing the green of Ireland at the SIAB Games in Derby.
He had qualified to throw javelin and with a best of 39.47m finished in 8th in a high class field.
The entire club is proud of your fantastic achievements, congratulations Elijah.
