Well Done, Roisin!

Roisin McShea is one of the newer recruits in the girls section and after a good start to her athletics career during the country season she is currently enjoying the track. However on Saturday she went with Mum and Dad to the 5K in Pollock Park and in the heatwave that we were enjoying but which was not all that good for distance running and she turned in the creditable time of 23 minutes 10 seconds. It's not usual for girls of her age to run these distances often but occasionally as a training exercise they are worth doing: that she enjoyed it and seemed to suffer no ill efects was shown when she turned up for training at the startof the week with a big smile on her face. Dad Brian was a runner with the club as a boy and Youth and was trained by the late Derek McGinley and has good memories of the club as an athlete himself. Well done Roisin!
