The club wishes to thank all those athletes and adults who have contributed to making 2010 a very successful year for St. Catherine’s A.C.

Laura wins our first All Ireland Medal
Congratulations to Laura Hayes who recently represented Cork in the National Juvenile Cross Country championships in Sligo. Laura was the third person home in the her team which enabled them to achieve team silver. Laura has consistently trained hard and raced well this season and deserves her medal, the first National medal for the club, either in recent years or in the previous form of the club.
International Athlete
In the same weekend as Laura won her medal, her father Frank, our coach and chairman, represented Ireland in the British and Irish Masters Cross Country championships in Scotland. Frank’s tremendous form in recent races continued at this event where his position contributed to the Irish Men’s Over 40s team winning bronze medal. The Hayes family “broke” all kinds of records that weekend.
