Lucy O Keeffe had a super run in the U 15 girls 1500m to finish an unlucky 5th in an excellent time of 5.06. Kerry Barrett competed in the girls U15 800m and finished 9th in a very competitive field.

Tirna Cahill had a super throw 36.12m in the girls U16 hammer to take the Munster title. Jake McCarthy had a great run 9.47 min in the U16 boys 3000m to win a bronze medal . In the U17 boys 3000m race Killian Nolan came an unlucky 4th despite a great 9.46min performance. Liam McCarthy qualified for the U17 boys 200m final.
