Juvenile Races
In the girls U/13 600m race Bronagh Kearns having won the heats was unlucky to get boxed in the final and finish just outside the medals in 4^th place. Karen Costelloe threw a good series in the U/13 shot putt event finishing in 5^th place. There were good performances too by twins Aoife and Orla Butler in the hurdles as well as Ciara Vereker in the javelin and long jump. In the boys events Ian Ahern placed 4^th in a competitive boys U/13 shot putt while Eoin McEvoy also threw well. Ian goes through to the All Irelands and with plenty of training over the next few weeks could be in the hunt for a medal there.

Damien Walsh was the top club performer in the U/23 events taking gold in the 100mH. 400mH, 200m and long jump. He also won a silver in the 100m and bronze in the 400m.

Janet Moore threw well in both the discus and shot taking bronze in both events. Colin Butler continued his winning ways taking gold in the 400mH an event he shows a particular talent for. Well done to one and all and continued success in the All Irelands.
