Two Donore members were the recipients of honours at the Leinster Athletics Stars Awards night held in Tullamore last weekend.  Our young multi-eventer Jack Rudden Kelly who has had a fantastic year of competition was one of thr Dublin Region winners.  Former Donore President and former Dublin Athletics Board chairman Charlie O’Neill won an award for outstanding services to Athletics.  Charlie is a constant presence as an official at Dublin, Leinster and AAI National championship fixtures and still finds the time to compete.  These are significant honours for the club and we congratulate Jack and Charlie on their awards. On the competition side, we had one of the first cross country fixtures of 2014 at Tymon Park , the BHAA SDCC 2 mile and 4 mile.  Anne Curley finished 6th and 2nd W40 but lost places due to her shoe opening, Susan Walsh was 2nd W50 and Ann Woodlock 1st W75.  In the men’s 4 mile race well done to Ken Nugent 22nd, Patrick Moriarty, 25th, willie Morris 26th, Colm Hill 34th, Ian Redican, 92nd, terry Mee 1st M70 and Tom Halton.
