Internal Juvenile Club Competition at the Abbey Vocational
Thursday 28 Jan 2010
On Thursday night the club hosted two very enjoyable competitions for all club athletes in the Abbey Vocational Gym and on the newly floodlit outdoor club facility. The Indoor Sportshall jamboree for 8,9 and 10 year olds included a timed sprint - using the reverser boards - speed bounce, standing long jump, ball chest push and relay. The noise levels throughout the ninety minutes of competition indicated that all enjoyed the experience.
Meanwhile outdoors on our new tartan facility and in less than kind weather athletes the 10,11,12, and 13 age groups participated in the following events - timed 60metres sprint, long jump, shot putt, hurdles and finished with a 500m race.
Concluding the event Paul O'Gara, club chairman congratulated and presented medals to all participants, thanked the club coaches who ran the event so efficiently and the parents who came along to encourage.
Many young athletes indicated that they would love to have a follow up competition very soon.
