In the same years, one member of the club showed speed in a different way, and in a different discipline, when he won an individual All-Ireland title and medal in Croke Park in September 1926. The report from the Drogheda Independent of 26 September states: In Croke Park, on Saturday last the Youth's Half-Mile Championship of Ireland was won from a large and classy field by a Balbriggan youth, Edward (Teddy) Curtis, son of Mr Jas Curtis, Balbriggan, himself a well-known athlete in the old days. Curtis, who is a member of O’Dwyers G.F.C., deserves the hearty congratulations of his fellow townspeople on his striking achievement.
