Congratulations to all our athletes on their great performances on Sunday in the first race of the cross country season. The race (which we co-hosted with our neighbours Lusk AC and LSA) was held in the amazing setting of Newbridge House, Donabate in fabulous sunshine.

A special mention to some of our younger athletes who were competing in their first cross country race and for others in their first race for Skerries AC.

Check out the photographs (courtesy of Michael and some of the parents – more on Facebook) which show a combination of determination and enjoyment from all our athletes. The coaches are very proud of all your efforts.

Thanks to the parents who acted as stewards this morning and to all our coaches for preparing our athletes. Without all our fantastic volunteers from Skerries AC, other clubs and Dublin Athletics Board, these events could not be held.
