Newport Athletic Club

Newport Girls U10 U12 U14 Relay Medal winners

The Munster inter county relays took place in very wet, cold and windy circuit just outside Killarney. Three age groups represented the club in the U10, U12 and U14.

First up was  the U10 event, with Emma Coleman taking up the first leg for Tipperary. Emma ran a strong race and battled through the strong winds very well to set Tipperary up to hold a comfortable position and and enabled them to secure third place overall following an excirting race.

Next up was the U12 where Tipperary did not get off to a great start and running on the fourth leg Emma Fagan had some ground to make up to pull Tipperary into third position. Emma timed her run very well and made her move on the second of two 250m laps to close in on the third position Clare athlete to leave only centimetres between them on the line.

Next up were the U14 team which had a slightly easier start and a certain third place position. However Elaine Yelverton was not settling for third and put in an impressive performance to pull back into second place eating up the ground nicely over the two laps.

Overall a great result with all three athletes bringing home medals for their efforts.
