North Down juniors emerged safely from the final qualifying round of the Young Athletes League on Saturday. Boys and Girls Teams both qualified for the Northern Ireland Finals at Antrim on Saturday 30th July when it gets serious. All three Boys Teams narrowly finished 2nd to Regent House in their matches leaving Strabane to take the overall lead in the qualifying stages by 1 point from North Down. The Girls Teams showed a big improvement with the U13’s 2nd and U15’s and U17’s both first. That meant the girls moved up from 7th overall to joint 3rd.
