Club Member Notes - Aug 30th 2020

We hope you and your families are doing well. We are glad to be able to update you all with some Athletic events after almost 6 months. 

It has been a long journey with many changes in how we live our lives. However we are a resilient group and we will prevail.

Leaving Certificate Results:
We wish all our Leaving Cert students of 2020 all the best in their results next Monday, September 7th. It has been a very challenging year for you and your teachers so don’t be too hard on yourselves. Celebrate responsibly!

Back To School:
We wish all our juveniles the best of luck in returning to school. There will be a lot of mixed emotions, but stay positive and look forward to meeting up with all your friends again.
