Dooeen Athletes in action in Mardyke Cork and Santry Dublin this weekend.
After  a hectic few weeks between community games finals, provincial finals and AAi junior & u23 finals the action this weekend is a little less intense. On Saturday a small band of Dooneen athletes will compete in Ireland's premier international meet - the 58th Cork City Sports - what a record, well done to the CCS committee.

David O'Shea one of Ireland's top ranked sprinters, 3rd last weekend in the u23 finals in Tullamore, will be the first in action in the 200m where he will be up against serious international competition from Europe, the UK and the USA. Next up the club will have two athletes in the junior 1500m race. The in-form Cathal O'Connor will hope to build on his recent good showings in the 800m over the longer 1500m. In the same race training partner and school mate Shane Lynch who has been going well in training and is due a big performance will also be in action.  A great days athletics is assured so get down to the Mardyke - that is if you are not going to the Rod Steward Concert.

On Sunday, veteran athletics manager Paddy O'Connell will lead a Limerick County team to Santry for round 2 of the National Track and Field leagues where they will hope to confirm their place in the national league finals for the first time in a few years. Several Dooneen athletes will be involved including David O'Shea, Ger O'Shea, Niall Counihan, Steve Howard, Brian Glynn, Simon Hogan, Zoltan Gyomber, Ray Lennon, Nathan Jege, Ronan Queally. Best of luck to the team.
