CRH rock AIT

What a tremendous day for CRH.

We had 44 athletes (3rd largest club entry) and each one gave in their all and thoroughly enjoyed the experience of participating in such a marvellous arena .

The day started with our u 9 Boys relay team scoring GOLD. This is the first time these boys have ran in a relay and they performed brilliantly, listening to all instructions. Fair play to Rian Carroll, Aaron Lally, Jason Ruane, Donnacha Creavan and Mark Coyne.

The girls u10 relay team of Saoirse Griffin, Laoise Connaughton, Eve Shanahan, Doireann Marrinan, Anna Lee and Emma Kelly were up next and narrowly missed out on Bronze.

We entered two u10 teams in the Boys relay and all the athletes on both teams put in huge effort. Well done to Aaron Scully, Adam Fitzgerald, Ruairi Higgins, Eoghan Brady, Sean Langan, Keelin O Grady, Donnacha O Brien and Jason Ruane.

The Boys u 11 relay came in second with again huge performances by Joseph Killilea, Brian Griffin, Kalem O Neill, Luke Coyneand Jamie Severs Redmond.

We entered an astounding 3 relay teams in the u11 Girls. Ciara Murphy, Holly Acton, Ella Crowley and Holly Myers scored SILVER. Kieva Duffy, Elise Day, Amber Sweeney and Kayleigh Noone narrowly missed on BRONZE and Mia O’Shaughnessy, Mia O’Hara, Alannah Grant and Ciara Duffy put in a superb effort.

The individual races were equally as successful for CRH athletes.

Saoirse Griffin scored a GOLD in the u10 400m and her brother, Brian, matched it with a GOLD in the u11 60m.

Ruairi Higgins certainly EARNED his BRONZE medal in the u10 400m on take two.

Ciara Murphy proved herself in both the 60m and the 600m u11 by winning BRONZE and GOLD respectively and her class mate Holly Acton joined her on the podium by scoring a SIVER in the u11 600m.

Our u9 girl duo of Honour Mcnamara and Maggie Mannion showed lots of potential in both the 60m and 200m.

The long jump also attracted many of our athletes with strong performances from Donnacha O Brien, Ciara Duffy, Alannah Grant and Kayleigh Noone.

CRH most definitely ROCKED AIT and every athlete left with fantastic memories.

Many thanks to all the coaches and parents who helped….a TEAM effort which will hopefully continue to ensure CRH’s future remains bright……bring on the Galway Outdoors.
