Laura McSweeney was on the Irish Schools U17 team which competed in Glasgow on the 17th July against schools teams from England, Scotland and Wales.
Laura finished in 6th place in the Shot Putt with a throw of 10.76m.
She is still eligible for this age group next year so it was a great achievement to be selected for the team this year.

The West Cork Summer League scheduled for last Friday night had to be cancelled at late notice due to circumstances outside the control of the West Cork Athletics Board.
The West Cork board apologises to anyone who travelled to the event.
This event will not now be held and there will be no more summer league events this year.

Unfortunately no medals in the National Senior T&F over the weekend.
Joan Healy was 6th in the 100m, Tracey Bradfield was 8th in Shot Putt, Priscilla O’Sullivan was 10th in Hammer and 10th in the Shot and 7th the Discus. Ronan Duggan put in a gutsy performance in a tough heat in the 800m but unfortunately finished 3rd and didn’t make the final.
