Hurricane Bronagh Blows Away Opposition (Leinster stage 2, Mullingar)
Bronagh Kearns scored a sensational win at the Leinster juvenile cross country championships in Mulligar last Sunday as she floated over mud and hills to win the U/12 race in impressive fashion. It’s been many years since the club had an individual win in these championships and the talented blonde bullet from Ardara, gave the club a huge boost in the first race of the day. In the girls U/14 race Chloe Laffan won a silver with the county team, while Rosanne Kennedy picked up a county gold in the U/16 race despite being badly spiked. An excellent run by Leanne Foskin saw her finish in 8^th, while Colin Butler won a county gold in the U/18 race. Adele Walsh added to her Leinster tally with a county bronze as she led home the Kilkenny team in 8^th place. Lots of other impressive runs on a day made for the brave and the hardy. Get the lo-down here.

Home from Home
Welcome back to club member Tara Walsh who just returned from a week in Capetown, South Africa, where as part of the Niall Mellon charity project she helped to build badly needed houses in the local townships. Tara was part of the ‘Orange’ team that included former world boxing champion Chris Ewbanks. In all over 700 Irish people took part and the project has been one of the major success stories in that region over the past number of years. Hopefully she will be recovered in time for the county Novice on Sunday!!ay.

Marathon Men of Charity
Between them, Tom Roche and Noel Walsh are 115 years old, have run 50 marathons and raised over €50,000 for charity. If that's caught your attention, why not read some more.

Take the 'A' train
It’s all happening on Monday and Wednesday nights at the Sports Complex in Kilmacow, starting at 7.00pm. There’s a great squad of juveniles down for training, while the elder lemons also get in a few steady laps including Heartbreak Hill. If you’d like a walk or maybe just to keep up with the gossip, you can join the Butler Community Centre of Stella, Elaine and Michelle for a calorie clippin’ stroll round the track. There’s a welcome for one and all in St Senans, just bring some suitable clothing and an oxygen tent!!.

Busman Pat
We are lucky in St Senans to have a super bus driver in Pat Duggan. Not alone is he so steady that you could drink your tea while he drives, but he is always in great humour and a pleasure to have around the athletes. At the recent Tall Ships Festival in Waterford, Pat was one of the contractors who worked the Park & Ride system and Bus Eireann received numerous calls complimenting Pat on the marvelous service he provided. Of course in St Senans we’ve known that for years. Thanks Pat.
