Mr Oil County B Championships
A refreshing breeze was welcomed by athletes and spectators this evening at the County B Championships. First up for Menapians was Toni Gregov in the U 9 60 metres sprint having made it out of his heat into a semi final and then went onto take bronze in the final. Toni then competed in the long jump where he took silver. Next up was Piper Farrell who competed in both sprint and middle distance for her age U 12. Piper had a consistent run in the middle distance with a strong finish that saw her narrowly miss on a placing. Thanks to Padraig, Siobhan and Ellen for their time this evening.
