In the final of the 800m Michael Whelan was always up with the leaders and finished 8th in a PB time of 2.31.

Girls U/15 The 80m Hurdles final was always going to be a very exciting race as both Kelly Ann Doyle and Leanne Prout having won their respective heats, it was breath taking performance all the way to the line from both athletes with Kelly Ann winning by 200th of a second from Leanne. The 250m Hurdles heats were again great races with both Kelly Ann and Leanne winning their heats. In the final Kelly Ann finished 2nd with Leanne in 4th place both qualifying for the All Ireland Final.
