Athletics Ireland release club membership stats for end of Sept 2018

Athletics Ireland have just released the membership stats for clubs at the end of Sept 2018.

The chart above shows the clubs with 100 or more adult members.

Mallow AC continue to power ahead and they now have 261 members. Of those, a total of 233 are in the masters category i.e. aged 35 or over. Just 28 members are under the age of 35 and this is pretty typical of most clubs now with 89.3% in the masters category.

St,Catherine's AC now have 106 adult members as they break through the 100 mark. I think that may be their highest ever.

Doneraile AC are a new club and they are also the 100 mark with 153 members.

As always, there are other running clubs as well that are not part of Athletics Ireland so this isn't the complete picture.
