AGM of Craughwell AC Juvenile Club
The AGM of Craughwell AC Juvenile Club will take place Thursday 23rd February at 8pm sharp in St. Michael’s Hall in Craughwell. It is hoped that all parents of athletes in the club can attend to get a full account of 2005 activities and give any opinions they have on the running of the club. It is hoped to conclude the business of the AGM by 9pm and follow it immediately with a meeting of the new committee for 2006. Parents are welcome to attend both meetings – but if under time pressure to get home, the AGM is the important one to attend. The 7.30pm and 8.30pm training sessions will not take place on that Thursday on account of the AGM.National Indoors Finals - training session on Sunday 26th Feb in Dangan
The training session planned for Sunday at 4pm in Craughwell for relays for the U12/13/14 age groups has been cancelled.

Best of luck to juveniles in National Indoor Finals
We have a sizeable contingent of athletes travelling to Nenagh for the juvenile indoor championships on 25/26 March and 1/2 April..
Please contact Michael Tobin if transport needed on any of the dates. There likely will be a bus travelling on the day of the relays on 2 April - but cars will be the mode of transport for other days.
The following are the athletes who have qualified for the finals and the times of their events. Relay teams are still been finalised but most athletes already know if they are on a relay team or not.
Best of luck to all our athletes - we have some fantastic talent in the club. Enjoy your participation in the National Finals. Remember you can only control how well you perform yourself - not how well everyone around you performs, so try to set a Personal Best in your event and treat a medal as a nice bonus!

Fantastic Weekend For Craughwell AC
There were some outstanding performances from Craughwell AC athletes at the weekend taking home 2 gold and 4 silver from the National Juvenile Indoor Track and Field in Nenagh and taking 3rd place in the prestigious Connemara Half-Marathon on Sunday.
Mark Davis, Tony Nevin and Tony Fitzpatrick were the club's representatives in the half-marathon and Mark ran a stormer to take 3rd place in a time of 1:22 in very difficult weather conditions.
In Nenagh, Saturday's competition saw Paul McGill throw a National Record of 11 metres to become the U13 Boys Shot Putt Chanpion. Well done Paul, a fantastic performance. Cathriona Farrell put in a great performance despite suffering from the flu, to take the silver medal in the U15 Girls High Jump with a jump of 1.59m. Cathriona had to rely on plenty of mental toughness to make the return journey on Sunday to take silver medal in the long jump with a distance of 5.05m. Sunday was a great day for our U12 high jumpers with Jack Raftery claiming gold in the boys event with a jump of 1.30m and Siobhan Gardiner taking silver in the girls event with a jump of 1.27m. The day was completed with a silver medal by Sarah Finnegan in the 60m hurdles in a time of 11.16.
There were many other fine performances with 3 sprinters making the sprint finals, 3 hurdlers making the hurdles finals, 2 more high jumpers making the top five. It was the club's most successful weekend ever at National level.
Well done everyone! A more detailed report will follow later in the week.
Craughwell Athletes Exude Class at National Indoors
The National Juvenile Indoor Track & Field 2006 may well prove to be a watershed in the club's history. Never before had the club so many athletes taking part in the National Indoor finals and never before did we enjoy such success. This success is not just about medals won, but also the many fine performances by several of our athletes in making finals or finishing in top 5 or 6 in their event.
