Meath League

Thank you and well done to everyone who supported the first round of the Interclub Meath league last Wednesday 17th in Claremont Stadium Navan.
In each of the league nights there are two events, varying each evening for all age groups from U9 (Born 2011) to Master with the top 20 athletes on each night earning points for their club. The interclub league whilst competitive, is a great way to introduce our newer members to competition and also offers good competition practice for all our members in preparation for the outdoor season.
There are two more league nights, all on Wednesday evenings, 29th of May and 19th of June. Please come along and support the club.

Competing last Wednesday were Orlaith & Roisin, Aine, Amy & Lee, Mollie, Ella, Lochlainn & Annalise, Ben, Aoife & Nessa, James & Peter, Doireann, Saoirse & Rian, Nia, Kyle & Keelin, Nicole & Evan, Ruby, Trudy, Jane, Barry, Jack, Kenny & Myles, Harry, Ava & Abi, Lucy Jo and Isabella.
