Couch to 5k / Valentines Run

 

The Downs Dragons initiative returns for 4-6 year old boys and girls every 2nd Saturday at 12 p.m. in the clubhouse. New members always welcome. Kicking off this Saturday January 18th. Free jersey on registration for new members.

Excitement is building here in The Downs with the Scór na nÓg All Ireland final in just one more week. The All Ireland takes place in the Hillgrove Hotel Co. Monaghan on January 25th. And with four The Downs competing in four finals we almost can’t contain our excitement. All groups are busy practicing and preparing for their big night in 2 weeks’ time. The Downs will compete in the Tráth na gCeist, Nuachlas, Rince Seit and Aithriseoireacht. We wish all the participants and their coaches every best wish in the weeks ahead with their preparation and encourage them to enjoy the experience.

Our Club Calendar for 2025 is now available. We extend our gratitude to all our sponsors for their continued generosity and support in this venture. Calendars can be picked up in Mullingar Pewter, A&J Newsagents Coralstown and Egan’s Rathconnell Service Station while stocks last. Calendars are €3 each or 2 for €5.

We extend our sympathy to the family of Johnny McKay late of Killucan Co. Westmeath. Johnny is a former player playing for many years during the 1970s.

We also extend our sympathy to the family of John Moran late of Graiguenamanagh, Co. Kilkenny and formerly Greatdown, The Downs, Mullingar who died earlier this year. Johnny was part of the famous three in a row winning teams of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s.
