Moyne AC 70th Anniversary Games
Thursday 12th July 2018 will live long in the memories of many people as a celebration of 70 years of athletics in Moyne Athletic Club took place.
On a beautiful evening with a great atmosphere, the club celebrated in style with an athletics meet that thrilled and invigorated the large crowd in attendance. People travelled from far and wide to be in attendance and compete in what was the first track and field meet held by the club since the redevelopment of its facilities. What a fitting tribute to showcase the facilities which drew great praise from the many athletic fraternity in situ on the evening.
The main feature races on the programme, the Senior Ladies 800m and Senior Men’s Mile, certainly lived up to all expectations and though the two targeted times of 2.05 and a sub 4 minute mile didn’t materialise, it certainly was not for want of trying as both Amy O’Donoghue (Emerald) and Sean Tobin (Clonmel) went above and beyond huge efforts to succeed. Based on their superb performances, much greater things are ahead for both athletes.
