It is with sadness that we report the death of our treasured colleague Derek Furniss who was killed in an air crash, while training with the Air Corps in Galway, last night. Derek was a brilliant runner who trained and competed with the Club on regular basis, having just competed for the Club in the Dublin Novice Cross Country on Sunday. Our sympathies go to his partner Lesley and daughter Rebecca, who also runs with the Club, at this time. May he rest in peace.
