On Saturday and Sunday, it was the turn of our juvenile athletes who made the trip to the Munster Championship Track & Field at MTU. There was a decent turnout on both days with some great performances all around. Thanks to coaches Dee and Antoinette for giving up their time to look after out athletes over the course of the weekend, and to the parents who travelled.

The Mile Marker 5 mile, to raise funds for St. Michaels NS, in Danesfort, Co. Kilkenny was held last Sunday morning 08th June 2025. One solitary Youghal AC athlete made the north eastwards journey, and Keith Kelly made it count, coming home third overall in a time of 27:21. Well done Keith

On to events over the past two days….

On Friday evening 13th June, Tom O’ Neill was out again at the Cork & Waterford Injured Jockeys 5km road race in Conna, coming a marvellous 7th overall in a time of 19:15, on a difficult course with plenty of hills.

News just in from the Munster Track & Field Championships at MTU, and Ruby Devereaux has done it again. This young man’s upward trajectory is gaining momentum. Ruby took part in the U16 3,000m, which was his first time taking on this distance on the track. Leading from pillar to post, Ruby came home in front in a magnificent time of 9 minutes and 7 seconds, missing out on the Munster Record by a mere two seconds

Well done to all of our athletes wearing the green and white hooped singlet over the course of the last 10 days or so…..
