The club had a total of 16 relay team, 10 of them in the u12 category. It was great to give so many athletes an opportunity to experience indoor athletics and a huge thanks to the coaches who were on hand to help on the day.
We had 4 indoor sessions in Abbotstown over the last month also and it's great to see how all of the athletes have progressed.
Thanks again to Kildare AAI for a super well organised event.
