Our Club Annual Awards and Christmas Party were celebrated in Byrne and Woods in Roundwood this Saturday (2nd). As per tradition, candidates had been nominated across a number of category by the club coach for the membership to vote on.
At the end of the dinner (and the Club Quiz), the winners were announced:
CLUB AWARD WINNERS 2023
- Club Person of the Year: Donna Quinn
- Best Newcomer: Siobhan Brennan
- Most Improved: Marcus Murphy
- Road / Track Performer of the Year: Blaise Kinsella (men) and Donna Quinn (women)
- Off-Road Performer of the Year: John Conway (men) and Catherine Devitt (women)
- Team of the Year: Gavin Kennedy, Paul Duffy, Richard Costelloe (Men’s M35 gold winning team in the Wicklow Off-Road)
The Club Champion will not be decided until next week at the Wicklow Senior XC where the title will go to either Paul Duffy or René Borg. The ‘Most Prolific’ prize will be awarded on the first training after New Year.
CLUB QUIZ
The traditional Club Pub Quiz asking 16 fiendishly difficult questions about club events, racing and statistics was won by Donna Quinn, William Belton and Marcus Murphy with 12 right answers (with a tie-breaker question necessary to separate them from Alan Kennedy).
ONTO 2024!
Well done again to all club members in a year of growth that saw record members, record number of races, record number of PBs and so much more. We hope for more of the same in our 10th anniversary in 2024.
