The results show that these young athletes from all over the city are continuing to progress into junior and senior levels with the same level of success that has prevailed for the past number of years at juvenile level..

On day one of competition, Ciaran Donnelly was the leading performer winning the 60m hurdles and long jump and finishing second in the high jump under 15. In fact the boys under 15 long jump was one of the talking points of the weekend as Ferrybank athletes took all the medals with Adam Heaslip and Stephen Murphy taking silver and bronze behind Ciaran.
