Congratulations to all the children that took part in the county finals over the bank holiday.

The weather was brilliant but the heat made it difficult for the children to participate.

Despite this the area did very well.

U10 mixed ran very well and did us all proud – Team was Caoimhe O’Dowd, Shane Surlis, Aisling Cryan, DArragh O’Dowd and subs were Jason Conlon & Hannah O’Dowd.

U12 boys very nearly won a medal too with their top performance – Team was Shane McDonnell, Jack O’Dowd, Darragh O’Dowd & John McDonell.

Aine O’Dowd qualified for the final in the U12 girls 600m and put in a top performance on Monday.

The U14 boys relay team collected bronze on Sunday evening,

Team was Niall Morris, Jonathan Beirne, Keelan O’Dowd, Declan Morris and sub was Conor O’Dowd.

Well done lads.



All of our athletics got out of their heats on Monday and qualified for semi-finals so an excellent display of local talent was on show in Ballyleague.



On the Monday Sile O’Dowd was the first for Area to collect her Gold medal in the U16 girls 1500m, then Caoimhe O’Dowd collected Gold in the U10 100m and last but not least Christina Beirne collected her gold medal in the U12 girls 100m.

All three go forward to represent the Area & County in the National finals. Well done Girls and good luck in Athlone.

WHAT A SPLENDID achievement and we would like to wish the girls the best of luck as they represent the county in the finals!!!!
