Circuit Training
Due to unavailability of the Hall the circuits will take place on the Grass area just behind the hall. Please bring a mat or thick towel for the session.
Leinster U12, & Junior Championships
The Leinster U12 and Junior Championships were held last Saturday
in Tullamore. We had 3 athletes competing from the club, Matthew Buckley in the
boys U12 60m Hurdles, Abraham Zaidan in the Junior men’s 100m and Tom Kilgannon
in the inter County relay.
First into action was Matthew who qualified from his
heat in a comfortable manner, running a time of 10.47 seconds, this in fact was
a new Championship record, with the previous record set at 10.50s, but more was
to come from Matthew in the final, he stormed to victory in an even faster time
of 10.28s, a record that will take some beating.
Abraham Zaidan continued his good recent form with a third
place finish in the junior men’s 100m, Abraham set a new pb of 11.32s and We
wish him all the best for the All Ireland at the end of June.
Tom Kilgannon was also in action for his County in the U11 -4
x 100m inter County relay, Meath finished second and in doing so qualified for
the All Ireland.

Leinster Juvenile Relays
U11 Boys, U11 Girls & U13 Girls Team |
The Leinster Juvenile relays were
held last Sunday at Shoreline Sports Park, Greystones, Co. Wicklow. The day
started off overcast but by mid-day the sun was shining and it remained very warm
for the rest of the afternoon. The competition was as usual of a very high
standard and the event was well attended with 2-3 heats in most events
required, with winner and fastest losers only making it to the finals.
In the morning session we had
three teams competing, the boys U11, girls U11 and girls U13. All three teams
qualified for the finals comfortably. In the finals the girl’s u11 team
consisting of Aimee Doherty, Aoife Rutherford, Emma O’Connell and Ella Healy
put in a great performance to finish a close second behind Blackrock in a time
of 62.56s. The boys U11 team were not to be out done, the team of Rohan
Wardick, Fionn Drummond, Brian Kiely and Tom Kilgannon also took silver in the
boy’s final with a time of 63.38s. The girls U13 team of Aine Cooney, Ivie
Okome, Emma Coroner & Rachel McPartlin made up for their disappointment at
the Leinster indoor relays to finish with yet another silver medal, they put in
a great performance and ran a pb of 56.96s and were beaten only by the current All
Ireland Champions from St. Laurence O’ Toole’s.
In the afternoon session, we had
two teams competing, The girls U12 team consisting of Orla Hayes, Ella Healy, Emma
Coroner and Rachel McPartlin won their heat and finished 5th in the
final with a blanket finish for 3rd,4th &5th
place, only 6 hundreds of a second separated 3rd from 5th place. The
boys U16 team who only just made it to the starting line on time did not let it
affect them and had a good run to finish second behind Menapians in a time of
50.28s. The team consisted of Eoin Clayton, Peter Kilgannon, Philip Marron and
Stephen Shaw.
Congratulations to all teams who
took part and thanks to all parents who made the trip to Wicklow. We wish our
teams the best of luck in the All Ireland finals which will be held at Finn
Valley Athletic Club, Donegal on the 29th of June for the U11s and Tullamore on
the 21st of July for the U13s & 16s.
