Enduro National Championships took place last weekend in Ballyhoura Trail Centre where Killarney Cycling Club had six members participating.

ENDURO

It was another trip to the podium for Jason Murphy as he kept on top of the pace and greasy trails for all six stages and finished in second place in the Master's category.
Patrick Cremin was also smooth on the pedals all day, the fastest of the non-elites in the Senior Category.

This great result would normally see Patrick standing on the top step at the end of the day but with the nationals incorporating elite riders within the age categories, Patrick had to make way on the podium for Ireland's three top Enduro racers.

Adam Murphy continued showing great style and form on the trails but an unfortunate mechanical issue on stage one would end up costing him 15 seconds and narrowly missing out on a chance at the Under 21 Title.
Paddy Moore, Tom Costelloe and Senan Cotter all pushed themselves in the highly competitive under 17 age group category, and came away with invaluable racing experience at a National level.

ROAD

The Munster Criterium Championships took place on August 13, osted by Greenmount Cycling Academy in it's new home of Limerick Race Course in Limerick.

Killarney Cycling Club riders continued their run of strong results from last year's race with Milo Donaldson initiating an attack in the final quarter of the race and riding aggressively to second place.

Mark McGlynn and Frank Doherty worked their way towards the front in the bunch sprint behind to finish fourth and seventh respectively. These three strong finishes resulted in Killarney Cycling Club taking the team prize for the second year in a row.

In recent racing hosted by neighbouring club Sliabh Luachra, Pierce Curtin put in a strong performance in the A4 race finishing second while Luke Costelloe took seventh in the A3 race.

The usual morning routine was swapped for slippers and dressing gowns at Maggie’s Montessori last Friday as the children took part in the annual National Pyjama Day.

The local event was held in support of LauraLynn, Ireland’s Children’s Hospice, and Early Childhood Ireland’s Eco-Emotions project.
The theme for the day was “children helping children and having fun,” with the Killarney toddlers joining over 65,000 children nationwide in the massive fundraising drive. Since its inception in 2003, National Pyjama Day has raised more than €4.5 million to support developmental and wellbeing projects for young people across the country.
Funds raised during the day at Maggie’s will go directly toward LauraLynn’s Family Support Services. These services provide essential emotional, therapeutic, and practical care for children with palliative and complex needs, as well as their families.
Teresa Heeney, CEO of Early Childhood Ireland, noted that the day is a celebration of kindness and community. This sentiment was echoed by LauraLynn CEO Kerry McLaverty, who stated that the spirit of children helping their peers aligns perfectly with the mission of the hospice.
