County Athletics 2022

St Francis Credit Union Clare Community Games held their Annual County Athletic Finals on Saturday 16th July in glorious sunshine in John O’Sullivan Park, Lees Road. Over six hundred children from twenty four areas across the county participated in Relays, Track and Field events. There was an opening ceremony at 11am where all the competitors and their mentors assembled on the track. The Chairperson Paula Byrne O’Connell welcomed everyone to our first proper County Athletic Finals in three years. She welcomed all those present, the Mayor of Clare Mr Tony O’Brien, President of Clare Community Games Mrs Cecilia O’Sullivan, the County executive committee, all the volunteers at area and county level who give so much time and energy for the children of Clare. Without these volunteers there would be no community games. She thanked Clare County Council and the caretaker at John O’Sullivan Park for the wonderful facility to host the finals. She thanked the parents and children for turning up on such a warm day. She wished all the competitors the very best and hope they have a very enjoyable experience. She paid a tribute to all our friends in Community Games who we have lost and all those who have lost a loved one over the past few years. May their gentle souls rest in peace.

Clare Community Games was founded in 1971. In this, our 50th year, we are struggling to fill all the positions on our County Executive Committee. If we fail to fill these critical positions then Clare Community Games will not be in a position to participate in Community Games competitions during 2022. We are asking for the help of Community Games supporters in Clare to get these positions filled so that we can look forward to a successful 2022. It will be a great pity, particularly for all the children in the county, especially on this special anniversary, if we are unable to participate in Community Games activities in the years ahead. Your county needs you. #SaveClareGames

Please show your support and register to attend this online Zoom meeting. Details will be circulated the day before the meeting takes place.
