Day 4 and 5 of the Dublins
The relays were held in artic conditions in Tallaght on Saturday. Our under 10, 11, 12 and 13 girls teams all made the finals but didnt make the Medals on this occasion. All the girls enjoyed the day despite the coal, not sure what the adults felt!

In Santry on Sunday, Caoimhe Bresnan was sick all week but still managed a fine race, Billy and Ella Mae both got boxed in badly in their finals but ran well. In the under 12 girls high jump Sophie English jumped brilliantly to come 2nd, Chloe Corcoran was delighted with her 3rd place in the under 13 high jump and Alison Burke was very happy with her bronze medal in the under 14 high jump. Well done to all the above and to all the others who competed at the weekend and didnt feature in the medals.
