Ardee & District Athletic Club

Massive congratulations to our Ardee athletes who traveled to compete at Cairn Community Games last weekend!

TomJoe McCormack (U16 100m): Took on a blistering U16 100m sprint final, finishing 5th in an absolute thriller of a photo finish for 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th place! ⚡

Niamh Ireland (U14 Shot Put): Put in a brilliant performance in the U14 Shot Put, finishing just outside the top 8 in Ireland! 💥

Representing your club and county on the national stage is a huge achievement in itself. We are so proud of the hard work, grit, and determination both TomJoe and Niamh showed on the track and in the field.

Well done to you both on fantastic national performances!

Well done to Rory Cousins on a fantastic run at the Rossin Rovers 5K 👏🏃‍♂️.
