Cross Country
Master Woman's Start 2.00pm. Master Men 2.20pm.
Best wishes to those travelling to the Woodies DIY AAI Masters CC Champs in Lough Key Park, Roscommon, this coming weekend.
Who can hold onto the coat tails of Peter Matthews, maybe Seamus Power were he to take up the challenge?
In the ladies race, course winner Annette Keeley may not be far away. Do not rule out Pauline Curley or the late charge through the field from Niamh O'Sullivan. Carmel Parnell, no doubt, will add further to her championship tally.
Yet there is always a dark horse but who will it be on this occasion!
AGM
The AGM was held in Donore Hrs Clubhouse on Sat. 28th Jan. 2012, with Guest Speaker - Lucy Moore-Fox, delivering an excellent and engaging paper on the topic of "How can Psychology help your sport?"
Many thanks to those who turned up for the AGM last weekend in Donore Harriers. The incoming Committee would like to express their gratitude to Nick Corish, Mags Greenan, Bernadette Kavanagh and Pat Timmons who after many years of service to the IMAA, stepped aside.
Details of the Masters Committee for 2012 can be found under "Committee 2012".
