Head Office Lunchtime Runs

ESB Athletic Club is launching a new lunchtime run schedule from next week, 8 August, with three different paced groups as follows:

· Brian Gray will take the Blue group on Thursdays for beginners or people doing Couch to 5k programmes. The session will be a mixture of jogging and walking, with the aim of gradually building fitness.

· Sarah Stapleton will take the Purple group on Wednesdays. This group is for people who can run 5km continuously and will be at a relaxed jogging pace.

· Matt Reid will take the Yellow group on Mondays, for runners who are looking for a faster session, covering a distance of 5-10km.

There are lots of people running at lunchtime from Head Office, and while some people enjoy running by themselves, there are real benefits to running in a group and encouraging each other. If you are interested in joining one of the runs, just turn up at 12:30 on the day in question and give it a go.

Cricket – Willie Webster trophy finals day

Winning team

ESB finished the competitive season on a high with a solid win over the Theatrical Cavaliers (Gaiety Theatre team) in the 3rd/4th playoff for the Willie Webster trophy.

ESB fielded first. Constant pressure was applied by tight bowling and excellent fielding restricting the Cavalier’s score to 113. Wickets were shared between Damian Pacitto, Baajee Dabhade and Vikas Bhagaur.

The run chase was measured, and again solid contributions from Baajee, Rahmet Ullah, Vikas with a finishing effort from Killian Morgan resulted in an ultimately comfortable 5 wicket win.

For the final match it was great to have a lot of support with a number of family members present.

There are some more photos here.

There will be a few more friendly matches before the season ends – it’s never too late to start!

esbi-charity-1.jpg

A whopping €12,000 has been raised by staff of ESB International for charity, with the proceeds going to causes nominated by the staff themselves. Charities to benefit include Brother Kevin’s Capuchin Day Centre, Pieta House, Women’s Aid, St. Francis Hospice and the Peter McVerry Trust.

The money was raised through a range of staff functions that were hosted by ESB International. In total, twenty different charities will receive a donation – all of them nominated by participating staff.

Speaking at the handing over of cheques to the various charities, Brother Kevin Crowley from the Capuchin Day Centre commented that

Poverty is an issue that affects more and more people in Ireland each year and it is gratifying to see ordinary people play their part in helping to resolve the problem. Charity begins at home and it is fantastic to see the staff of ESB International reaching into their pockets to help a range of charities that are in chronic need of additional funding.

ESB International Managing Director, Ollie Brogan, praised what he called
the goodhearted people that I get to work with every day‘ and expressed his confidence that an even bigger sum would be raised over the coming twelve months thanks to the generosity of the company’s staff.

Be Inspired to find The Power Within

power-within-20160722-b.jpg

Only 0.0001% of the world’s population get to call themselves an Olympian, a very small group of extraordinary people whose unwavering self belief propels them to do extraordinary things. As part of its sponsorship of Team Ireland for the Rio Olympic Games, Electric Ireland has been shining a light on our Olympians and how they use their own mental strength and The Power Within to achieve their dreams. Electric Ireland wants to inspire the Irish public with these athletes’ stories and encourage people to look within themselves to realise that we can all unlock the Power Within.

Although they may not be Olympic athletes, Joe and Kay O’Regan from Wexford are proof that the power is within all of us to achieve great things. The eighty year old couple ran their first marathon when they were 50, when most people are giving up running. 30 years and 142 marathons later, they finished their last marathon in June, in Cork, hand in hand. Their determination and strength of spirit is inspiring in equal measure.

The O’Regan’s have teamed up with Electric Ireland to share their amazing story of mental resilience and fortitude.

Speaking about what they believe The Power Within means, Kay and Joe O’Regan said, “People thought we were mad, that you don’t start running at 50, but the longest journey starts with the first step and if we can do it anyone can. The Power Within is about looking inside yourself and having belief in the things you can achieve.”
