Club athletes had resounding success at Weekend 2 of the National Community Games Athletics Finals in Athlone on Saturday 22nd & Sunday 23rd August. There was an individual gold medal for David Ryan in the Boys U/16 200m, bronze for his sister Anna in the Girls U/14 Long Jump & silver for Sean Mockler in the Boys U/16 Discus. David & Sean were also part of the Boys U/16 4 x 100m Relay team who won bronze with David\'s brother Jack & Oran Mulhall the other members of the team who took to the track. Subs were Ben O\'Dwyer who also competed well in the Boys U/16 1500m to finish 8th in his heat & Liam McDonagh. Ben\'s younger brother, Ronan had a terrific competition in the Boys U/11 Gymnastics & although he was not among the medals, he gained very valuable experience for future years.
