Inter Club Competition: NOAC / Leevale / Ferrybank

EVENT DATE - Sun 01/12/13
Venue - Nenagh Olympic Indoor Complex
Time - 10:45 - 15:00

NOAC hosted a triangular interclub event, involving athletes from NOAC, Leevale AC and  Ferrybank AC.

This was a repeat of last year's friendly, fun, yet competitive event where athletes gain points for their club in each event.

Each year, the club with the highest points total at the end of the day is awarded the Joe Nagle perpetual memorial trophy. The late Joe Nagle was a former chairman of Leevale Athletic Club and served that club loyally for many years as well as representing Leevale and Ireland on the international stage.

Nenagh Olympic staged a late comeback to win the triangular competition.  The final points tally was :

• Nenagh Olympic 1362 points
• Ferrybank 1305 points
• Leevale 1280 points

It was great to see so many of our younger athletes in action, some in club colours for the first time and they all performed very well.

A big thanks is extended to both Ferrybank and Leevale for travelling in such great numbers and to all who helped in the running of the event. A special thank to Mary Cullagh who had a party bag prepared for every athlete on the day.

All athletes from U8 – U16 were encouraged to attend and participate in this fun event.
