Did you hear the one about the cross-country races cancelled because of rain?
The downpours of the last few days might scare off the softer runners, but we’ve never been a soft nation when it comes to cross-country running

DSDAC is heartbroken to share that our beloved friend and coach, Billy O’Dwyer, has passed away after falling ill post a 10k race in Nice on Sunday. As a mark of respect, all Club training is cancelled on Tuesday, 29th April. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
We had the Sod Turning for the St Thomas’ Multi-sport Complex this afternoon. Adding multi sport & track enclosure buildings, to the fantastic existing track, is phase 2 of this sports campus. This reflects the incredible work of @DSDAC over many years in partnership with @dlrcc
It’s been a long run - but great to be moving forward with Phase 2 at the St Thomas campus in conjunction with the LSSIF funding and the support of @dlrcc & @DeptCultureIRL. Thank you to @McConalogue and @podonovan and @jimdundrum.
Great to see the sod being turned today on the second phase of the construction of the St Thomas' Multisport Campus that offers a wide range of sporting pursuits. This new project has received €6.5 million in state funding under the LSSIF.
Congratulations to 2nd year student Luca Moran who won a gold medal in the U15 high jump with a personal best of 1m 53m in the Dublin Juvenile Indoor Championship last weekend. Everyone in the college is delighted for Luca and we wish him well in the All Ireland Finals.
