 | Club & Community 5K Walk and Fun Run  Well done to all that participated in our annual Club & Community 5K last weekend. We had a good turnout and ideal weather!  We were delighted to have the fabulous Ferns Family join us to get the crowd warmed up. Thanks so much to James, Kaityln, Bobby and Jaime for taking time out to visit on the day of Ireland’s Fittest Family final.  We were honoured to dedicate the event to the memory of Bishop Willie, who is dear to so many in Éire Óg, Club Chair Brian Howard spoke of Willie and held a minutes silence before the walk.  Thanks to everyone that contributed on the day-to Ishka Spring Water for sponsoring water, to our helpers that provided tea/coffee, treat bags for kids and fruit cups.  We held the draw for 4 x €25 Spar Turnpike vouchers. The winners were: Laura Lyons, Nóra Áine Ní Nualláin, Patricia Kilcawley and Daragh O’Rourke.  Congrats to John Griffin, first man in at 21 mins and Orla Cronin, first woman in at 26mins, and to youngster Leah who came in hot on John Griffin’s tail, just over 21 mins.  Finally, I’d like to commend our Walking Wednesday and our Couch to 5K running group on completing today’s 5K, a first for many, take a bow, ye were great!  Keep moving and stepping everyone.
