The North Down womens team had a big day in glorious conditions at Santry on Sunday in Round 2 of the National League with 3rd on the day and 4th overall when combined with results in Athlone. The girls got away to a flyer in the opening few events with wins by Sarah Connolly at hurdles and Rebekah Rutherford at high jump and 2nd’s by Rebecca Collins in the walk and by the 4 x 100m team, averaging 3rd’s from then on. The girls reached and did well at several Division One finals but this is only the second time since promotion to the elite Premier Division.
The mens team were hindered by international and inter county and provincial call-ups, the positives being able to blood several new team members. They covered well enough but had a few mishaps with injuries and disqualifications on the way and the huge score in the previous round in Sligo endured they only slipped to 5th. The standard of the opposition was high and the highest position reached was 2nd by Michael Dyer in the 800m and by Alan Kennedy in the triple jump.The results are still unofficial but we are confident both teams will ba at the final in Tullamore.
Please note that the date on the ANI website is wrong and the final is on 3rd August
