Club Excels in Connacht U12-15 Championships (Updated)
It was another day to remember for Craughwell AC athletes at Athlone IT where the U12-15 Connacht Championships took place last Saturday. For many of these athletes, this was their first time competing in Athlone and the hard Mondo surface was a different experience for them. Luckily the downpours that beset Craughwell on Saturday stayed away from Athlone until the athletics were finished.

Oranmore Boys NS and Craughwell NS share the honours at Galway City Sports
The track and field events are coming hot and heavy these days between Community Games, schools track and field and club track and field. Tuesday was the turn of primary schools with the highly successful Galway City Sports which was held in Dangan. The track in Dangan was thronged with children and teachers as the organisers got the events underway around 9.45am. Well done to the coordinators and in particular to Muiriosa on a very successful event.
Craughwell AC Impress at U9-11 Connacht Championships
Craughwell AC’s youngest athletes led the way at the weekend in the Connacht track and field championships in Athlone IT where 20 teams from the club qualified for the National finals, with two other Galway clubs also to the fore – GCH with 14 teams and Athenry with 13 teams. These figures speak volumes for the strength of underage athletics within Co. Galway. Unfortunately after a week of strong sunshine, last Saturday resembled a summer’s day in Siberia more…
Blazing Around Ballinderrin – the Galway Community Games

Our athletes weren’t the only ones in top form, with Mr Sun finally opening its season with a strong weekend performance and a season’s best!
