County track and field concludes in Enniscorthy

THE WEXFORD track and field season drew to a close on Wednesday with the second and final day of the Senior, Masters and Novice championships.

Once again conditions were perfect with both athletes and spectators enjoying the ultra-relaxed nature of the event.

With the three categories coming together at the one meet, there is a real sense of the baton being handed over by those who have seen it all to those who are just starting out.

While overall numbers were a little down there were some fine performances.

As on the previous day, a good number of athletes competed in multiple events and, as before, the younger athletes were once again very much to the fore.
