The club was also well represented at the Connacht Indoor Competition which was also held in Athlone Institute of Technology recently. Their athletes Lisa Herrity, Carrie Stephenson, Eva Ruane, Kate and Caoimhe Kilkenny all competed on the day. A highlight from the day was Kate Kilkenny winning bronze in the u13 girls 600m and bagging a new PB. And her sister Caoimhe also took home bronze in the u17 girls 60m sprint.
