RESULTS: The Junior & U23 Championships of Ireland were held in Tullamore on 28th June. Three of our club athletes performed extremely well and brought home medals from the competition. In the Junior Women’s shot Putt Claire Fitzgerald took gold with a throw of 13.58m and went on to take a further gold in the Discus (43.38). Alan O'Connor took bronze in the U.23 Men’s Shot Putt (12.03m) and silver in the Discus (38.53m) before going on to take gold in the 35lbs for Distance (10.18m). Karen O Connor also came fourth in the U.23 Women’s Discus (28.74m). Well done to all three athletes on their performances. Congratulations also to Ciara Walsh who came 4th in the Tailteann Games high jump competition with a jump of 1.55 m. More results from the weekend included our juvenile division at the National Championships in Templemore. Joe O'Connor and Ciaran O'Reilly had huge success this weekend, taking home a gold medal in the team event ball throw. Well done to both boys on a magnificent performance.  Brian Kennedy and Rory O'Connor also teamed up their sprinting abilities to come an impressive 4^th overall in the sprint competition. These two boys joined forces with David Fitzmaurice and Gearoid Dillane to win their heat in the 4x100m relay.  Joe O’Connor replaced David in the final to win bronze. It seems the future of the club is in good hands with these athletes! Well done also to our club athletes who traveled to Athens to compete in the International Children’s Games this year. All involved acquitted themselves very well and had great interest and support back home.
