Presentation to the Harrier of the Year

Last night the club presented the Harrier of the Year 2024 award to Fintan Keirns. The announcement was made at the Cake Race/Athletes of the Year night just before Christmas, however, due to family commitments Fintan could not be there on the night to collect his award.

At the awards night the Club Captain in announcing that Fintan was the Harrier of the Year said: “This year I want to acknowledge the contribution of a particular athlete to the successes enjoyed by the men’s team. He is an athlete who always answers the call, regardless of the event or race distance he is being asked to run, ‘I’ll be there’ is always the answer.  He was on the Clonliffe men’s teams that won the national indoor league, national league track and field, national road relays and national intermediate cross country titles. That’s pretty unique 4 team titles on 4 widely different surfaces.”
