The club is very appreciative of the generosity of Celia & Paul Miskella of PM Technical who are sponsoring the club’s gear for the event and also Jody’s SPAR / Circle-K who are sponsoring the club’s transport to and from Dublin Airport. The cost of the trip is significant and the team are very grateful to receive such substantial commercial backing. For a small village in rural Ireland, the club has punched above its weight in Irish competition for many years and it is a huge step forward to be now challenging for European honours. There is a conveyor belt of talent in the local communities and the team’s achievements will no doubt inspire other younger athletes in the club to emulate this achievement in the future. The very best of luck to the team in September from all associated with the club.

Most of the squad are pictured below and we will get a full team picture at a later stage, probably in Portugal given that its hard to get such a large group together at the one time what with school, college, part-time jobs etc..

A big thank you to our local photographer John O’Connor for coming down to the track to take the photographs. Check out John’s fanstastic flickr site for more pictures of the team from last night.
