Medal triumph for

GLENMORE AC had a small but determined contingent of athletes at the Leinster Track and Field Championships in Tullamore last weekend.

First up were Sam Dawson and Daragh Brady who took to the runway in the u14 boys Long Jump on Saturday morning. Both lads jumped extremely well with Sam narrowly missing out on making the top 8 positions. Daragh also jumped his way to a new PB which got his weekend off to a great start.

The following day, Daragh took to the track this time and competed in the 80m heats. He just missed out on the final but nonetheless is showing great progress in his sprinting this season.

Next up on Saturday was Paul Mc Glynn who finished 2nd in his u17 100m heat and acquitted himself very well among a fast field despite being in the middle of his Junior Cert Exams. Richard Campbell who is also a very keen sprinter and showing great improvement this year qualified comfortably in 2nd place in his heat to the u16 200m final where he was just out of the medals.

Both Paul and Richard then represented Louth in the u17 boys Inter County 4x100m relay at the end of Day 1 where the team placed a fantastic 3rd.

On Day 2 of the Leinster Championships, the O’Neill brothers, Diarmuid and Enda got the day off to a flying start as they tackled tough competition in both the Javelin and Shot Putt.

This was also the boys’ first time competing at Leinster level. Diarmuid placed an outstanding 3rd in the u16 Javelin with his younger brother Enda also giving it his all and
