The u13 boys 4x100m relay team (Joshua Kelly, Jack O'Connell, Alex Dunne and Shane Patterson) were unlucky not to have qualified from their heat despite having a faster time (56.21) than the winners of a previous heat.
In the u13 600m Jack O'Connell came an impressive 4th in the final in a time of 1:47.33 and ran a time of 8.65 in his heat of the 60m.
U14 shot putter Eoin Kelly threw a PB (8.65) to earn 6th place while U16 60m hurdler Harry MacKeogh was unlucky not to qualify from his heat in a time of 9.55.
