Larry Mc Guill Rás na hÉireann - Juvenile Results
Rás na hÉireann 2024 took place on Sunday February 18th in Lawlesstown, Dunleer. Dunleer AC dug deep to make it a great day of cross country running. The Club was delighted with the support of all who entered, participated, spectated and helped out. Visit Larry's Memorial Tree at the track in Dunleer and run a lap anytime! Carry on the Dunleer AC tradition in his honour.
The Celtic Games took place in January in Scotland. There was a fantastic result for Ireland, with Dáire and Maebh both 3rd scoring members on their Irish teams, with Ireland 2nd behind Scotland in the boys under 17, and Ireland 3rd in the girls under 20.
National Bronze for Daire
A strong finish and clever negotiation of the mucky conditions brought home the National bronze and a place on the Celtic team for Ireland, for Daire. What a proud day for Dunleer AC!
