Saturday saw the Dublin Athletics Team comps for U9/10/11 boys and girls kick off in Bancroft Park, home of Tallaght AC writes John Dolan.
The sun played its part and our wonderful athletes did the rest – running and jumping to the medal podium.
We coaches could not be prouder of our juvenile athletes today, each and every one of them were amazing. Plenty of medals came back to Raheny. Thank you to all of the athletes (and supporters/families).

Sadly he could not take part in the U11 Boys relay. Up stepped Noah McDonagh and Eli Esim, both performed incredibly in not just the heats but both finals for U10 and U11 Boys (four relays all within the 30mins of each other).
A truly brilliant day for competition and camaraderie. Future is bright!
