For many of the young, energetic athletes this was their first-ever time competing and they all did themselves proud. One of many highlights from the day Freddy Brown won gold in the boys u10 400m race. With many speedsters in their ranks the club had numerous competitors in the 60m and 200m races including Alice Moloney, Sarah Berrigan, Emelia Noone, Emma Hurley, Lillie Browne and Luke Mulvey.
