Community Games 2017 After the great display of our swimmers in May, our at- tention turned to the athletics events in the Mardyke on the 10th June. 25 boys and girls represented Glan- mire in these Cork finals and the winners all go through to the all-ireland finals in Abbotstown in August. A first for Glanmire was to have a competitor in the Jave- lin event and Lily O’Riordan did Glanmire and her fam- ily proud by taking a silver medal in the u-14 girls event. The track events then took place and although we had competitors in most events we found it hard to get into the medal winners. That said every child ran their hearts out and did us and their families proud. We want to thank the parents for their help on the day and also a big thanks to Finbarr Harty and Jenny McTigue from the community centre for helping the committee who organised and ran the event. As the older student events started our luck changed and after Logan Murphy took silver in the u16 boys 100mts sprint Martin Ekhosuehl took the gold in the boys u16- 200 mts. Then we seemed to keep our best to the end when Stephen O’Toole surprised all of us and left his father in shock as he ran away with the 1500 mts. race. Other medal winners were Keelan O’Sullivan, Daniel O’Keefe and Harry Jones. The end result is that Stephen O’Toole and Martin Ekho- suehi will represent Glanmire and Cork in Abbotstown in Dublin in August. Then on to Riverstick on Saturday 17 June for the Art and Handwriting competitions. Again we were well represent- ed and thanks again to the parents who helped to keep the events on time and we were all on our way home by lunch-time.
