North Leitrim Athletic Club U9, U10 and U11 competitors took to the track yesterday in Galway to compete in the 2012 Connaught Team Events. The Dromahair area was well represented with a number of athletes having qualified from the County Leitrim finals which took place in Carrick-on-Shannon in May.
One North Leitrim AC team qualified for the national finals to be held in Cork, with the U10 team of Diarmuid Giblin and James Clinton winning Gold in the 60 metres race. This is the boys' second year in a row to qualify for the national finals, having claimed silver in the U9 60m All-Ireland race last year.
The Dromahair juveniles who took part in the Connaught finals in Galway were Ella McDaid (U10 60m & 500m), Diarmuid Giblin & James Clinton (U10 60m & 500m), Carrie McDaid & Rachel McPartland (U11 60m & 600m) and Eoghan Kearns & Emmet Quinn (U11 60m & 600m). Well done to all who competed and represented North Leitrim AC so well. Best of luck to Diarmuid and James in the All-Ireland finals.
