Dunleer AC
Dunleer AC has had many highlights this cross country season, with juvenile sucess at both Louth and Leinster level and with senior success at County, Provincial and International level. Our Club Chairman David Carrie, our County Chairman Micheál Mulligan and our coaches and committee members have been working hard to ensure athletics is enjoyed by all of our members, from age 5 to 50+. Training sessions at various venues ensure that all events and abilities are catered for. Please support Dunleer AC and if you can help in any way, don't hesitate.  We are all volunteers and welcome support and encouragement! We are looking forward to the National Cross Country Championships on November 26th and December 17th, and of course the Rás na hÉireann in February 2018!
