August 2014 Update – Fit4life celebrate one year of running! (Report by Gerry Flaherty)

Blackrock A.C. Fit4Life goes from strength to strength after one year of walking, jogging and running.  From one evening a week at the start in July 2013, the group now trains 3 times a week with almost 60 members now in the group. To celebrate the one-year, a number of the group stopped for an enjoyable ice cream in Teddy’s as part of a recent 7mile evening run. We also marked the milestone with a special Fit4life cake and some drinks in the nearby Dark Horse. Read more

Congratulations to Michaela Marnell who secured a double victory at the Masters All Ireland Championships in Tullamore yesterday.

Michaela was competing in the M1 category and battled the horrendous weather conditions to take the 100m and 200m National titles and in doing so making it a clean sweep of honours both indoors and outdoors this year.

Well done Michaela.

Club members were busy over the last few weeks in various other sporting codes and a few National titles along the way.

Congratulations to Lara Gillespie who retained her National Triathlon title over the weekend. A great performance bearing in mind that she picked up a nasty injury a few weeks ago. Well done Lara.

Congratulations to Padraig Purcell and Sean Kinsella who played staring roles in Kilmacud Crokes march to the prestigious U14 A Hurling Feile National title. Well done lads.
