All Ireland Children's Games, 23 June, Tullamore
Well done to Maisie O'Hare, Saoirse Tully, Robyn Everett, Jessica Hannan and Kaitlin Shaw who took part in the All Ireland Track & Field finals in Tullamore, Co. Offaly over the last couple of weekends.
In the Under 9 age group, Maisie, Saoirse, Robyn and Jessica each put in fantastic performances in their events in the blistering sunshine and draining heat. At this age athletes compete as a pair in national competition, with the times/distances for each athlete added to their teammate to decide the results.
Jessica and Robyn both finished in second place in their heats of the 60m sprint, with their combined times proving good enough to beat all the other pair and take home a pair of All Ireland gold medals. Saoirse and Maisie were fourth in the turbojavelin, extremely unlucky to miss out on a medal with their combined score just 5cm short of the third placed pair, but they did keep their spot as the top team from Ulster. All four girls competed in the 300m, with Jessica taking second place in her heat and Robyn third in the other heat, the pair combining to take the runners up spot and a pair of All Ireland silver medals. Saoirse and Masie were the third placed team from Ulster in the event, and fourteenth overall in a large field. The four girls finished off the day with the relays, where they placed in the top ten teams from the entire country with a ninth place finish.
And in the U13 girls shot putt, Kaitlin made a good improvement on her best at the Ulsters where she took second placeKaitlin’s second round throw of 9.17m was good enough for seventh place in the national finals, retaining her spot as second best from Ulster.
Thank you also to all the parents, guardians and coaches who travelled on the day to support the children

In the final, she just missed out on a medal but improved her time to 9.08sec and qualified for the All-Irelands as well.
Saibhe Mulvey ran well in the 600m race, finishing in fifth place in her heat and eleventh overall with a time of 2min01.98sec. The relay squad of Zoe, Saibhe, Ellen Rose Brady and Íosa Lynch came home in fifth place in a time of 2min10.97s
