County Tipperary U/9 to U/14 "B" T&F Championships - Moyne Sun 26th May

update 27th may

The County B U9/14 championships were also on this weekend in Moyne with most of our small team having their first outing for the club.

One such newcomer is Lily Marchand from Templederry. Competing in her first outdoor competition she won the U11 500m and so begins the long road to endurance glory. She can take comfort in knowing that she is taking the very same route to middle distance success as our U17 & 18 Track queens Ailbhe O'Neill & Sarah Lane who with all probability will medal in next Saturdays All Ireland schools championships. I won't unload one of my many scintillating stories on Lily just yet about what's needed and expected on the road most taken to "guaranteed" athletic success, if only. Best of luck kid welcome to the club.

Thanks to Hazel Ryan (one of our many dedicated coaching assistants!) for the following summary:

The small group of Nenagh athletics that traveled to the county b finals in Moyne today all did very well. To name a few results Donnacha Browne came 2nd in U10 boys turbo javelin and 1st in U10 boys 300m, James Hanly took 2nd place in U9 boys long jump and a silver again in U9 boys relays. Isabelle Coyle came home with a gold medal in U11 girls relays, Dervla Ryan won a silver medal in the U10 girls Relays, Lena Ryan was delighted to her first individual medal of Silver in the girls U9 200m and a gold medal in U9 girls relays. Apologies to other Nenagh Athletics I have not mentioned here

The county B results are not up on the Tipp athletics website as I post this but I'll bring you all results during the week.  If anyone has pictures and comments to share please do so.

Well done to all our Athletes.
