League 2 in Tallaght Sat 9th May
What a difference the weather can make! A very pleasant sunny day greeted our young athletes in Tallaght on Saturday in sharp contrast to the monsoon conditions the previous week. In the under 10 200m races we had good performances from Aoife Corcoran, Niamh O Connor, Lia Butler Lynch and a big well done to Cliodhna Ryan on her first outing for the club. Our experienced under 12 girls crew were very strong in their 200m races with Casey, Julianne, Keelin, Alex, Antonia and Antoinette coming 1st or 2nd in their races. In the high jump under 12 Claire O Connor was a delighted and well deserved winner in a huge field. In the girls under 13 race Aoibh Collins and Clare Murphy came 2nd and 5th in their 200m and both girls jumped very well in the high jump. Sara Jane Darcy and Laura May Galvin also competed well in their 200m. Emily Corcoran was a fine 2nd in the shot putt, Chloe Corcoran was a close 2nd in the 200m and an impressive winner of the 1000m wirg Dora close behind her. Sean Donoghue was a good 2nd in his 1000m race. Alison Burke stretched her already big lead in the under 16 girls league with 3 fine wins on Saturday in the 200m, shot putt and the 1000m. Well done to all.
A lot of young athletes who are coming training are not competing for the club. You will never know how good you can be at an event unless you compete at the leagues. This is where you learn your trade. These are fun events where you go from event to event with your pals and get to know athletes from other clubs. All our present senior athletes have very fond memories from the leagues when they were young so dont miss out. Next event this Saturday 11am in Tallaght. Programme on earlier post.
Thanks to all the parents who helped out on Saturday.
