Credit Union Award for Sinead Flynn
This week came the announcement that West Waterford’s Sinead Flynn had won the Credit Union award for November. This award recognises the success that Sinead has had throughout the year. Last year Sinead had a very successful cross-country season but in 2009 she showed she could be as good on the track as over cross-country. During the track season she won the Munster 600m under 12 and went on to finish second in the All Ireland. Sinead also collected bronze Munster and silver All Ireland medals when she anchored West Waterford’s under 12 relay team. In October she won the county cross country title under 12 and led her team to the county under 12 and under 13 team titles. Sinead was second in the Munster under 12 and again led her team to the club title. Continuing her good form in November she finished 7th in the Munster under 13 where her team finished second. Later in the month at the All Ireland Cross Country Championships under 12 she finished in second place in the race led Munster to the gold medals in the interprovincial race and West Waterford to third in the club championships.
For these achievements Sinead was selected to receive the November Credit Union Award.
Colligan Cup on Sunday 24th January
The first event of the year will be the Colligan Cup run which will take place on Sunday January 24th @ 1pm. The race will take its usual format and will be based on athletes predicting their time for the lap. It will be a good preparation for any of those taking part in the schools cross-country the following week.
Training
There will be training on Wed and Fri at 4pm in the Friary for anyone taking part in the schools cross country and also in Colligan on Sunday 17th at 11am for anyone who wants a trial run over the course for the Colligan Cup.
