Ruairi Walshe, he may have been our youngest, smallest, quietest, OK not quiet but two out of three is not bad, athlete on Saturday but he was also one of the bravest and his third place finish in the U12 600m was a great reward for this youngest member of the highly talented Walshe dynasty. Older brothers Tom who is a schools cross country international was 2nd in the U15 800m and Ben an All Ireland cross country individual medalist was 6th in the u14 800.

Anna Paxman and Lilly Duffy reached the final of their U12 600m but didn't medal despite good performances. Diarmuid Moloney had to endure the U13 600m on Saturday despite preferring something a little longer so he turned up on Sunday to the Carrig 10k and won the U16 catagory in an astonishing 38min despite being only 12 yrs of age.
