Our girls’ relay teams were in good shape going for the national relay finals in Tullamore today. First away were our U14 girls – Ellen Daly, Emily long, Kara Canavan, Emma Roche. A great run in the heat clocked them at 52.97 and looking good only to get disqualified in the final.

The under 17 girls – Grace Delahunty, Ella Wall, Hannah Quinn and Pia Langton – had a double involvement as they competed in both 4×100 and 4×400. They were 6th in the 4x100m final having clocked 51.82 to qualify from second place in the heat. In the 4×400 they won silver, missing out on gold by the smallest of margins! How small? 3/1000ths of a second. Well done all.
