• Club night Wednesday. East Cork Athletics Last Sunday 21st


Midleton Juvenile Athletics Club of May


saw day two of the Coun- ties take place in CIT. Af- ter changeable weather on the week leading up to the big day, it turned out to be pretty good on the day and some of our athletes definitely shone. The U9 girls were first up and for some this was their first big occasion infront of a crowd which can be a big ask for some. One bright


star that


didn’t seem to hinder was Elle Kate McRae who


shot some it


won the long jump clear- ing over 3 metres and who also came second in the 300mts. Well done also to Alex Taworski who got the silver medal in the 300 mts. Roisin McManus continued her fine form of last year and took the gold medal in the 60 mts. Rosemary Alamu took the girls U11 long jump gold and Odhran O’Sullivan took the gold in the boys 600mts. Robert


Olden


took gold in the boys Long jump and Silver in the


Onto the girls U13 and fantastic perfor-


mances saw Selena O’Ri- ordan take double gold in the Long jump and Jave- lin. A County Champion twice in the one day; fan- tastic Selena, well done. Others to take medals


or become County Cham- pions on the day were Joel Joseph who was second in the boys U13 80 mts, and George Alamu who took bronze in the high jump, silver in the discus and went one better in the shot when he became county champion. Fantas- tic George, well done. Leah Parker, who took silver in the Javelin and


won the Hammer with a throw of 36.12, over 10 mts ahead of her near- est competitor. Well done Leah. Blessing Alamu took bronze


in the girls


U14 Javelin and gold in the long jump. In the boys U15 200 and 2nd


mts, it was 1st for


David Joseph and Sean O’Riordan. Well done lads . Sean also went on to take gold in the discus with a throw of 36.11, over 11 mts clear of 2nd


place, and


gold in the shot. He had seen his sister win double gold so a good day in the O’Riordan household. Not sure if Mark got to see much of it as he was helping officiate on the


day. Without people like this we can’t run these events so thank you Mark. Lia O’Brien took sec- ond place in the


girls


200mts and also took sil- ver in the high jump, well done Lia. Daragh O’Sul- livan took bronze in the boys U16 800 mts. Fan- tastic finish Daragh, well done.


Emmanuel Alamu took


the bronze in the high jump, well done Emma- nuel and another suc- cessful day for the Alamu family. To round off the medals Roisin


letes who competed on the day. It was fantastic to see the new hoodies dotted around the course, and you were all a credit to your families and the club for showing your support to other athletes. Thanks also to those who came to


support,


always welcome. If an- yone is available to help out on the 28th


of May at


the County B’s / Relays please

Garry know


on 086-8382423 or give you name at the door on the day. Each club are re- quired to have officials so it would be nice not to de- pend on the same people week in week out. They would also like to see their


kids compete. Training continues this


week for those competing in the County B’s and Re- lays on the 28th


. Don’t for-


get to inform Joan of your chosen events, for both the County B’s and the Mun- sters on the June weekend for those competing. While we all use our


phones to take photos at different events, we would like to remind the athletes that


these are not to be


used while training is on- going. Please be respect- ful to other athletes and coaches. A more detailed report on the Counties will be issued next week but below are some recent winners and competitors.
