Munster Juvenile Indoor Championships
On Saturday some of our juveniles travelled to Nenagh indoor track to compete in the Munster relays. We had 5 teams on the day – U10 boys, U11 boys, U12 boys, U12 girls and U13 boys. Each of our teams ran competitive race’s against the top clubs in Munster. Thanks to all the athletes for representing the club at Munster level and to the Moms, Dads and coaches for getting them there!
