It was medals all around for Rathfarnham WSAF AC athletes at the Leinster Senior Cross country Championships 2018 in Adamstown, Co.Wexford.  The tough men came to the fore in purist cross country conditions of mud, rain, pain, hills and or course no showers after! Seán Hehir was 2^nd overall winning the Leinster Senior silver medal. It was team county gold medals for Paul Flemming who was 14^th overall and David Power who was 22^nd overall for Dublin. Congratulations to the trio and commiserations that sickness denied a full team that more than likely would have meant more medals.

There were three great results in the Dublin Senior Cross Country championships on November 4^th. It was hosted by Clonliffe Harriers in Santry Demesne. Mitchel Byrne came 5^th in 31:47, Shane O’Neill was 14^th in 33:09 and Paul Flemming was 22^nd 34:10

Well done lads. Pictures of Mitchell, Shane and Paul are in the Gallery

Weather conditions were perfect for the 39^th Dublin City Marathon. Rathfarnham shirts were visible everywhere in the start area. As it is in all marathons, anticipation gives way to a mix of success and drama. There were some fantastic individual club performances and PB’s but unfortunately last minute viral infections decimated our men’s senior team putting pay to any medal chances there. There are of course a lot of other medals at stake on the day what with the National, Leinster and Dublin championships being incorporated into DCM. Rathfarnham WSAF AC featured well winning club medals as follows:

National Championships Medals:

Silver medal for the M50 team of Colm Murray, Denis Daly and Pat Fitzpatrick

Gold medal for the M50 team of Colm Murray, Denis Daly and Pat Fitzpatrick

A big congratulations to everyone who completed the marathon. DCM is growing rapidly in stature and deserves its name as the friendly marathon. It is now the 5^th biggest in Europe. Be sure to get signed up for 2019 because over half the places have already been taken.

Such a big event would not be possible without the help of hundreds of volunteers. Particular thanks must be given to our own John McCabe who organised the stewarding by Rathfarnham WSAF AC members of the route between Rathgar and Miltown. Well for all the work and en route support!!
