July 2008 Brilliant Result for our Club at the All Ireland Championship in Antrim

The long journey to Antrim Forum for our athletes and parents was very worth while, where all our athletes competed beyond their expectations even though the weather

conditions were sometimes atrocious.  Torrential rain greeted us on Saturday morning with many of our athletes in early competitions. Nevertheless it did not dampen their spirits. Triumphantly they won 5 Gold, 2 Silvers and 2 Bronze medals.

Our Gold Medal winners were  Clodagh Fitzgerald in the 60mHurdles;  Emma O’Gorman in the 250mHurdles, Aoife Bartley in the Long Jump, Laura Cuddihy in the Discus and Shane O’Dwyer in  his High Jump.

  Girls U.13 Clodagh Fitzgerald in the first race of the day was 2^nd in the heat of her

60m Hurdles but made no mistake in the final for a convincing win in a time of 10.1.  Clodagh  was 4^th in the Javelin with a throw of 20.50.   Eimear Bartley was 3^rd in the Shot Putt with a throw of 10.15m and 5^th in the Javelin with a throw of 20.44m.  While Robyn O’Dwyer competing in the same age group had a P.B. of 4.21m in the Long Jump and also had a P.B. in the High Jump with a clearance of 1.30m.

Boys U.16  Shane O’Dwyer equalled his P.B. jump of 1.70m to win his High Jump which was held in torrential rain and windy conditions.  Shane cleared 1.70m on his first attempt, this put the other competitors under pressure and none of them succeeded in what were atrocious competition conditions.  Shane was 4^th  in his Long Jump with a jump of 5.70m.

Boys U.18 Keith Smith was 2^nd in his Triple Jump with a jump of 11.52m, Keith 3^rd in his 110mHurdles in a time of 16.9 and 4^th in the Javelin with a throw of 39.53m.

Our best wishes to Aoife Bartley  representing Scoil Mhuire on the Irish Team  in the Schools International which will be held in Bedford this weekend.
