Great Day of Athletics In Lismore
Fifty young athletes from all the clubs in West Waterford made the trip to Lismore last Sunday for the Astro Athletics for under 9-11. West Waterford had five athletes in action and a great day was had by all. In glorious sunshine they competed in running jumping and throwing events and great fun was had by all. Etain Ní Mhurchadha took part in the girls under 10 winning both the sprint and the long race. David Kiely also won both races in the boys under 10 and Jackson Sanderson was third in both. Finlid O’hUllacháin crossed the line first in both the sprint and long run under 11 and Jamie Kiely was second in the long run and third in the sprint. Jamie was also the best of the West Waterford athletes in the turbo javelin with a huge throw of 12m70.
Well done to our athletes and parents who made the trip to Lismore and a big thank you to Blackwater AC for organising the event.
