In glorious sunshine in Tullamore today at the Tailteamm Games schools interprovincial, there were some outstanding results for Dooneen athletes. Not for the first time this season Aishling Croke was spectacular in winning the girls high jump and while she may have been overlooked in the past, their will be no denying her a place on the Irish schools team to compete in Glasgow, Scotland in the next few weeks.

Having already shattered 11 competition records in recent times, Aishling who is already ranked #4 in Ireland, achieved a new PB with a magnificent jump of at 1.74m, a great achievement for such a young athlete. Sister Brona was also in action and she confirmed her rising status in the 3000m with a 5th place finish.

Greg O'Shea a huge sprint talent to emerge over the last two years was second in the 100m and third in the 200m in very impressive times. Finally in one of the tightest finishes of the day, it was a Limerick one/two and there was practically nothing to separate Sarah Lavin who won the 80m hurdles in 11.7 fractionally ahead of Lily Ann O'Hora in 11.8   Amy O'Donoghue of Villiers continued her hughly impressive season with a fine victory in the 800m, to confirm the good health of Limerick juvenile athletics with four gold, two silver and a bronze in a fine Tailteann hoard.

Well done to all.
