South Leinster Schools Day 2
At day 2 of the South Leinster Schools a number of our athletes were in action in school colours. It's been a busy few weeks for them as they compete in the County for their Club and also represent their schools. Another successful track & field meet for the gang,
Josh Nolan won Bronze in Javelin with a PB 39.69m for Wexford CBS.
Elijah Paige Redmond won gold in javelin throwing 43m and finished in 6th in 200m for St Peters College.
Orla Dolan won silver in 80m hurdles for Presentation Girls School.
