As mentioned below the final Dublin Juvenile Track & Field league is on in Irishtown this Saturday at 1 o'clock, if you are taking part be there at 12 o'clock. Because of this, there will be NO training for any juvenile groups in Irishtown this Saturday, Liz McDonagh's sprint group will meet in Marley Park at 10 o'clock instead. Good luck to all who are competing in the League and to our older Juveniles competing on the second day of the Leinster Schools Championships in Santry on the same day. |

DSD AC is proud to present Marathon Talk 26.2.
Whether you’re thinking of doing your first Marathon or looking for tips on how to improve your last Marathon time, this talk should not be missed by anyone interested in Marathon Running. The speakers will enlighten you on the many aspects of endurance running, retelling their experiences in a most practical way during this unusual assembly of athletes from Novice, Experienced & Elite at the distance. Open your eyes to the discipline of endurance running, the Training, the Wall and the Myths associated with the King of all racing distances that is “The Marathon”. Look into the abyss and begin to understand the fascination that people have with endurance running and in particular the Marathon. The evening’s program is designed specifically for those thinking of attempting their first Marathon and those trying to improve their time toward the elusive sub 3hr mark.

St Abbans Athletic Club are holding their annual Juvenile open sports on the Bank Holiday Monday 7th May 2012 at 12.30. A few people from the club have attended the last couple of years and have found it to be a very well run event and an enjoyable day out. There are events for under 8 upwards, entry fee is €3 payable at the gate, club singlets should be worn. The track is located in Monavea, Co Laois (not far from Carlow Town) and is about 1 1/2 hour driving time, it can be a little tricky to find so would be best to check it out on Google Maps(you can see the track on satellite view about half way between Crettyard and Monavea) before travelling. If you are interested in heading down the full schedule can be found on their website http://stabbans.itcarlow.ie |

A brilliant performance by our women's team saw them regain the National Road Relay Title last won in 2010. Niamh Devlin ran a strong first mile from the gun (5.21) and kept DSD in the fight handing over to Linda Byrne who ran a blistering second leg (10.33) to put them in the lead. Sarah Mulligan was on the anchor leg and ran a hard race from the front (5.23) to keep Raheny at bay to come across the line in pole position.
DSD Women now hold the:
National Club Cross Country
National Track and Field League

A Calendar for all the Dublin Juvenile Track and Field events for April to June and National events for June and July is now available in the newsflash section of the website. You will also find there the timetables for the four Dublin Juvenile Track and Field Leagues taking place during April and May. As some of these events are taking place on Saturdays there will be NO training for Little Athletics and Rosanna and Mary's groups in Irishtown on these dates-14th April, 21st April and 19th May. However we would encourage all members to take part in the leagues instead of training as they are intended as a relaxed way tor the athletes to try different events and to get them used to taking part in track competitions before the Dublin Championships in June.This is open to athletes U10(born2003)-U16(born1997) although athletes U9(born 2004) can run up in the U10 competitions All events are done on time, no heats and finals, and points are awarded to the first 6 in each event, at the end of the 4 leagues points are added up and the first 6 in each age group get a prize. If you intend to take part please be there an hour before the first event and bring warm clothes, water and a snack. The entry fee is €3 and club singlets must be worn(we will have these for sale on the day if needed) Due to the number of events in each league the Dublin Board are looking for parents to help out with some of the events, if you would like to volunteer, please make yourself known to one of the parents committee on the day and we will bring you over to the organisers. |
