It was perfect conditions yesterday at Clongowes Wood College leading to what turned out to be an exciting day in individual and team events. Huge thanks goes to the coaches Pat Hogan, Marie Roche, Ita Hanrahan and Ger Casey for their commitment and encouragement.

Congratulations to Niall Murphy and Conor Faulkner of Ennis Track and teammates Thomas McGuire, Cian O’Boyle and, Colm Kileen.
