It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all here tonight for our 4th Annual
Tipperary Star Awards. After a very successful year in 2018, I would like to
extend my welcome and congratulations to all our Club, Schools and County
Award Winners.
I would like to thank Seamus Hanafin for attending tonight, he has been very
supportive of Tipperary Athletics down through the years. I would also like to thank Mattie Ryan, Cathaoirleach
of Tipperary County Council, Hamish Adams, CEO Athletics Ireland, Jacqui Freyne, AAI High Performance
Development Manager, Mr. Mossie Wolfe, Munster Chairman, Mr. Liam Hennessy, Athletics Ireland High
Performance & Technical Committee & Mrs. Georgina Drumm, President of Athletics Ireland for joining us
here tonight, to honour the recipients of the 2018 Tipperary Star Awards in Track & Field and Cross Country.
Tonight belongs to the Stars and my congratulations to each and every one of them. Huge credit must go to their
Parents, Guardians, Coaches and Club Officers who give so much of their time to these athletes and to promote
the sport of Athletics in our County. I would also like to thank these athletes and others like them for the
enjoyment that they bring to all of us each time they compete.
To all our Competition Secretaries, PRO’s and Top Table, I would like to extend my appreciation for all your
assistance and help throughout last year and in the organization of this Awards Night again this year, and an
especially thanks to Aisling and Pauline for all their work.
In Tipperary we are fortunate to have the finest bunch of officials in the country when it comes to Road

Michael Guinan has been involved with athletics for over
fifty years, starting off as a Cross Country athlete and
later finding his way into administration at Club, County,
Munster and National level. His local Club, Killenaule
A.C. which later became St. Catherine’s A.C. saw him
take on his first role as Secretary and he continued right
up the ranks from County Juvenile & Senior Chairman to
“Dedication to Athletics” Award
the Munster Council and onto the National BLE Council
Michael Guinan
where he attended 10 World Cross Country
Tipp Mid-West Radio Championships with the Irish teams. One of his proudest
moments is the winning of the National Half Marathon by
his own Club, St. Catherine’s A.C., in a year which saw
the Club host the race.
He continues to be a staunch supporter of athletics in
County Tipperary and beyond especially on his weekly
Saturday morning “Sports Programme” on Tipp Mid-
West Radio which has been running since the inception of
the radio station decades ago. On his show, he regularly
features news about the best athletes that Tipperary has to
offer and keeps the County and beyond up to date with all
their achievements. We thank Michael for his dedication
to athletics and wish him continued health and happiness
in his quest to promote our beautiful sport.Winner Achievements

looking for new ways to improve the facility. The County is
indebted to them for all the events they host on a yearly basis
including our County Tipperary Primary Schools Cross

over 3,500 children, teachers, parents, coaches and spectators,
our County XC Relays and Masters XC Championships,
Community Games County XC Championships and all our
County Board Meetings where we are lucky enough to

and we wish them many more happy, healthy and successful
years to come.You can also read
