Fantastic performances from all our boys and girls representing Skerries and Balbriggan at the Dublin Community Games finals in Santry at the weekend. Pictured is our u10 mixed relay ( Henry, Troy, Keva Daisy and Daphney. Cillian not in picture) who were comprehensive winners in the final. They will now go forward to represent Skerries and Dublin in the National Community Games in Athlone in August. Gold medals were also won by the girls U14 relay (Rapha, Ruby, Ella K, Cressida and Lily), u12 600m Joshua Ericson, u10 200m Daphney Ndjatang and they will also go forward to Nationals. Silver medals were won by Rapha Diamond Ebs U14 100m and Holy Diamond Ebs u12 100m. Bronze medal was won by Lily Heaney in the U14 800m with 4th place finishes from Ruby Pereira U14 800m, Sarah Whelan u16 200m, Hugh Lawlor u12 600m, Rossa Gilbride u10 60m hurdles, Arthur Sexton u12 ball throw and the boys u12 relay (Josh, Sean, Joe, Moses and Kai). As well as all the individual medals won the majority of athletes made it through their heats, semis and into Sundays finals. A very enjoyable weekend indeed, with Skerries confirmed as 3rd best overall area behind Navan Rd in 1st and Malahide in 2nd. A special word of Congratulations to Donna May and Sheila Brennan for all their hard work and dedication in keeping Community Games in Skerries alive and kicking not just in athletics but in many other disciplines. Your work is much appreciated by everyone involved. Good luck to everyone in the finals in August.
