Congratulations to John who becomes Irelands latest sub four minute miler and 40th in all behind Ronnie Delaney. Running at the Terriers Invitational indoor meet in Boston John finished in 3rd place in a time of 3:59.30. The winner of the race in a personal best time of 3:55.75 was West Waterford’s David McCarthy who is at college in Providence, Rhode Island.

John who is on a short tour of the U.S. Indoor circuit has two more indoor races lined up, including the Millrose Games in New York.

Following in the footsteps of his proud father, Eamonn Coghlan there is little doubt we have yet to see best of John's wonderful talent and the Club looks forward to following his progress over the coming months and years while competing for both club and country.

Sligo Racecourse was the setting for the Woodies DIY National Inter-counties XC races on Sunday 27th November 2011. The National Even Age Juvenile Cross Country races were run earlier in the day. While the sun shone for the races, the very wet week leading up to the races made for heavy under foot conditions and the steep hill at the end of the lap added to an energy sapping course. The only juveniles to represent MSB were Alanna and Kelly Clarke on the Dublin U12 team. This was their first experience at a National event and Alanna finished in 40th position, coming home with a Dublin Bronze team medal. Well done, Alanna and we look forward to many more National races. In the Senior Ladies race which was won by Sarah Tracey, Kate O'Neill, who has had some very good races this year, came home in 23rd position. But the Senior Men's race was to be the most successful of the day for our MSB athletes, John Coghlan, who was one of the Irish team who won Gold at last year's European U23 Championships, finished  in 15th position - 2nd Dublin counter, with  Liam Tremble, in his first year in the Senior ranks coming home in a very creditable 20th position - 4th Dublin counter .   They both helped Dublin secure the teams Gold medal - Dublin winning the county title with 103 points ahead of Antrim with 109 points and Cork with 182 points.

Congratulations to Liam on his selection to represent Ireland on the European Cross Country Under 23 team, which will be held this year in Slovenia - 11th December.
