There was a big turnout in the grounds of Scoil Mhuire Clane on Tuesday May 29th for the Track and Field events of Clane and Rathcoffey’s Community Games 2012. This year the competition was blessed with perfect weather, and the hardworking organisers managed to get through all of the events in the one evening with some daylight to spare.

It was wonderful to see so many young athletes enjoying the fresh air and doing so well: a big congratulations to all those who participated in the races. A special thanks too to the Mums, Dads and Guardians that supported their children, Scoil Mhuire for making their grounds available, and all the volunteers on the Community Games sub-committee that helped make the day run so smoothly.

Prizes for the various races will be presented in the Abbey on Tuesday the 5th of June at 7pm. All are welcome to this celebration – we hope to see you there.
