CONNACHT INDOORS 2017

The Club is presently finalising our entries for this year's Connacht Juvenile Indoors in Athlone IT over the weekend of February 25-26.

We have huge numbers down on a preliminary selection but we need to know which athletes are able to compete so we are asking all the parents to contact us either through our Club Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/carrickonshannon.ac or via text message to Club Secretary John Connolly at 087-9446961.

To avoid any confusion with the names below, Athletics Ireland ages are all athletes who are 11 or will be 11 at any stage during 2017 are U12, anyone 14 at any stage during 2017 are U15 and so on.

With the huge numbers involved, we will also be appealing to parents to let us know if they will be travelling with their children to Athlone as we will need parents to travel with their children. We will have a bus for those who don't have a lift but if parents are travelling themselves, it would alleviate the pressure on space in the bus.

Entries are €4 per event so if an athlete is in one event, it is €4, two €8 and so on. We MUST know if an athlete is not available to keep our costs down so it is vital that parents get in touch asap.

The following athletes have been selected - please contact John Connolly as detailed above to confirm if the athlete is competing and how they are travelling to Athlone.
