LEINSTER JUNIORS & LEINSTER COMBINED EVENTS

The Leinster Juniors (U17-U20) and the Combined Events (U13 up) are being held in Greystones on Saturday 25^th May and entries need to be with Leinster by Tues 14^th May. Forms are now on our website and entries will close on Tues 14^th May at 6pm. Anyone wishing to enter after this date will have to pay the late entry fee themselves! As these events are being held on our local track we are hoping to see lots of our athletes taking part in them. Many of you had a chance to practice the events this weekend and we will put in extra work over the next two weeks with those who are going to compete. Athletes need to wear club colours please, ie club singlet or T-shirt with red, white or black short only. (no pinks, blues, yellows etc. please) We are expected to wear club gear only, for all of these events! Juniors athletes (U17-20) must wear Slí Cualann gear for this event!

As GAC is the host club, help will be needed to set up on the day and to clean up afterwards, so if anyone is free to help it would be greatly appreciated.

LEINSTER RELAYS

The Leinster Relays (U9-U19) take place on Sunday 26^th May in Leixlip Amenities Centre and entries close on Tues. next. Entry form is now on our website and will close on Tues. 14^th at 6pm. Athletes can compete in their own age group and can also move up 1 yr to compete in the next group, however at least two athletes on the team must be of the correct age. We will notify all who enter as to whether we have been able to make up teams or not and will get some team practise in over the next couple of weeks. You are expected to wear club gear only, for all Leinster & National events and can be disqualified for not doing so! Not wearing your number can also lead to disqualification!

Please note that at least two people have to act as officials on the day at all Leinster events. Anyone over 18 can volunteer, there are no qualifications needed to rake a pit, lift a HJ bar, marshal the gate and many other jobs, so don’t feel you can’t come forward to help!
