EANNA FLIES THE FLAG AS YOUNG STARS START TO SHINE

A quick round-up of last weekend's action starts with the news that Eanna Madden has been selected for the 100m and 4 x 100m at the European Team Championships in Vaasa, Finaland on the weekend of June 22-24.

The news comes on foot of Eanna running his second fastest time ever for 100m when he clocked 10.65 seconds in Regensburg in Germany on Sunday, just one hundredth of a second outside his pb and is a great return to form.

Gerard O'Donnell made his outdoor debut after an injury plagued few months, clocking 14.93 seconds for the 110m Hurdles at the Northern Ireland Championships at the Mary Peters Track in Belfast last Saturday, running into a 0.3 m/s headwind. A good start and lots more to come from GOD.

On Saturday, the younger generation were in action in Sligo in the Connacht U9, 10 & 11 Team competition and U12 & U13 Championships. Faith Lynott brought home a brilliant silver in the U12 Girls Shot and Darragh Gardiner followed up with a bronze in the U12 Boys Shot.

Gerard Murtagh claimed a bronze in the U13 Long Jump but was just outside the medals with fourth in the 80m. Dara Holmes was a heart-breaking fourth in the U12 Turbo Javelin while Mairead Lowe was fifth in the U12 Turbo Javelin.

In the relays, the U12 Boys team of Alan Beirne, Darragh Gardiner, Brian Keaney, Dara Holmes and Frank Cullen were our only medalists as they finished third in their race but we had a number of near misses as well.

They should always ensure that children are treated with integrity and respect, and the self-esteem of young people is enhanced. • Fair Play - All children’s sport should be conducted in an atmosphere of fair play. The principles of fair play should always be emphasised, and organisers should give clear guidelines regarding acceptable standards of behaviour. • Quality atmosphere & ethos - Children’s sport should be conducted in a safe, positive and encouraging atmosphere. • Competition - Competition is an essential element of sport and should be encouraged in an age appropriate manner. A child centred ethos will help to ensure that competition and specialisation are kept in their appropriate place. • Equality - All children should be valued and treated in an equitable and fair manner regardless of ability, age, gender, religion, social and ethnic background or political persuasion.
