Busy weekend for Sarah !! Jack Moraghan was beaten on count back in the HJ to 4th place and this was a good showing in his first competition at this event.
Under 14’s: Sean Kinsella competed in the Shot Putt event and secured a bronze medal for his efforts- this was his first shot putt competition since last summer- great result Sean- whilst Natasha ran a very strong race, leading from the front very early on and winning out comfortably in the 800m. Again she had a very good weekend with her involvement in the 4 x 200 relay squad on Saturday as her preparations for the outdoor season begin to gather momentum.
