Welcome to Dooneen AC Home page
On Sunday it was the club's leading Juniors who were in action in Nenagh and enjoyed good success on the day. First into action in the 60m hurdles was Lily Ann O'Hora who like the Munster finals some weeks ago was second to Sarah Lavin in a very good race. Lily Ann also ran the 60m and came home a comfortable fourth place.
She was soon followed by rising rugby star Greg O'Shea who again struck for the first Dooneen gold of the day in a fine run to add to his victory in the Munster final two weeks ago. Next up was leading Irish high jumper Aishling Croke who cleared 1.65m to retain her junior title that she won in style last season and take the club's second gold. Then it was Stehanie Carroll from Fedamore who took to the track for the 400m final and was an impressive second to take silver.
Well done to all on fine performances. |
After a good winter season training at home and in warmer climes Orla Drumm eased her way back into competition with a satisfactory 1000m run in the AAi Games in Nenagh on Saturday last. With seven runners in the field Orla fiished in third place behind 800m specialist Laura Crowe and Birmingham UK based medical student Sarah Louise Tracey. Over the next few weeks Orla wil run in Indoor meets in Vienna, Bratislava and Dussledorf, then culminating with a run in the Odyssey in Belfast. Hopefully these races will get her times up for the bigger indoor events coming up thereafter.
Also in action on Saturday last was Ger O'Shea who competed in the 60m making it to the B Final where he was a comfortable third. There to support Ger was brother Dave now completing a post grad programme in DCU Dublin. He missed the outing on Saturday due to exam pressures but he reported he is training well in Dublin undr the watchful eye of Limerick man John Shields. Another Dooneen athlete now based in Dublin is Dave's fellow sprinter Cian Aherne who was one of the top sprinters in Ireland last year. Also noted for rugby Cian is now playing with AIL Div 1 outfit Landsdowne RFC where he is reportedly playing very well. |

Beaufort Killarney on a rather cool day Sunday last 15th Jan was the setting for the Munster Inter County Relay Finals. Helena Dee took home the gold representing Limerick in the U.10 Finals and Susan O Neill took the Silver representing Limerick in the U.12 team. Well done to Sinead Roche, Kila Curran, David Hickey and Stephen O' Dee and who competed on Limerick Teams also and finished well.
