First County Titles for Aisling Prendergast & Aidan O’ Brien
The county B championships were held in the Friary on Sunday last despite the heavy rain underfoot conditions held up well and we had a large number of competitors at these championships. West Waterford had two winners on the day Aidan O’ Brien in the boys under 11 and Aisling Prendergast under 13. This was a great achievement by these young athletes who travel from Ballyduff and Lismore each week to train with West Waterford and both of them will be in action in the All Ireland championships in the coming weeks. Sean Roynane had a great run to finish second in the boys under 9 and there were also second place finishes for Caoimhe Dwyer under 11, Eoin O’ Brien under 13 and Sarah Wyley under 15. Other West Waterford athletes who were among the medal winners on the day were Grainne Mc Grath under 9 girls, Conor Browne and Owen Pollack under 9 boys, Rachel Mc Giuckan, Rachel Wyley and Judith Campbell under 11 girls and Niall Blackwell under 11 boys.
