Dearbhla has had a busy few weeks winning two medals last week at the All-Ireland Schools Championships while this week she also ran a PB in the 3000m Steeplechase clocking a time of 10.29.51. This is within the Athletics Ireland Standard of 10.40 for the European U20 Championships and it was the second time Dearbhla has achieved this standard having run 10.35.66 recently in Brussels. She is now eligible to be selected for the upcoming European Championships in August which will take place in Finland. Cian Gorham also ran in the men's 1500m at the same meet in Birmingham. He is enjoying a rich vein of form and continues to show great consistency clocking a time of 3.49.29. Hopefully Cian's injury woes are behind him and he can continue to complete at the top level which will undoubtedly bring big rewards. The club also had Niamh Brady in action in the Leinster Senior 1500m race at the Championships held in Carlow. Niamh has shown very well in training of late and her hard work paid off when he claimed the bronze medal in what was a race packed with quality.
