Last Sunday evening saw the club host its annual Christmas Party night for the juvenile athletes in the Waterfront in Dungloe.
As always the evening was brilliantly organised and the kids had loads of fun dancing, getting spot prizes and selection boxes for all.
At the Winter Woolie warmer 5k in Letterkenny last week, a good course but in bitter cold conditions awaited the Rosses runners making the trip. Declan Ferry kept sharp, taking the win in a super time of 15:38. Next Rosses home and 1st M40 was Declan Gallagher in a strong time of 17:23 for 5th overall too. Paul McKelvey had a fine effort too, getting round in a great time of 17:45, Patrick Trimble took the M50 category win in a brilliant 18:01. Michael Logue times improved as he went under the 19 mins clocking a nice time of 18:59 (2nd M50), next was the ever improving Norman McClean clocking a pb time of 19:05 (3rd M50). Paddy Solan got in a solid run in a time of 21:20. In the ladies section it was great to see a young Rosses lady Leah Ward take a podium finish in 3rd with a brilliant run and time of 20:08. Great also to see Selina O Donnell back racing, finishing 4th and 1st F40 in a nice time of 22:11. Sarah Doherty also made the trip and had a brilliant run to finish 5th in 22:27.
At the weekend the club had 2 athletes make the journey to Clones for the Ulster Academy day. Dates for Diary and not to be missed – Senior Presentation night is Saturday 7thDecember at 7:30pm in McCafferty’s Leitir. All welcome and please let Charlie Postie, Martini Mulhern or any committee member know you are going to secure a ticket. Great night promised.
