A fantastic evening at the All Ireland Schools Championships in Tullamore! 🏆💥
🥇🥇 Two All Ireland Schools Gold Medals for Chloe Carney and Paddy McGovern in the Junior Hammer Throw events!
🔥 Chloe Carney produced a superb performance, securing the championship title in the 5th round with a huge PB of 52.19m. Even more impressive, Chloe will be eligible for the Junior Girls category again next year. An incredible achievement and a well-deserved All Ireland title! 👏🏆
🔥 Paddy McGovern continued his excellent progress with the 4kg hammer, launching a throw of 51.08m in round 5 to move into 1st place and claim his very first All Ireland Schools Gold Medal. What a moment! 💪🥇
👏 Congratulations also to Sheila Croal, who finished an excellent 4th place with a new PB of 41.69m. A fantastic achievement, and we wish Sheila the very best as she returns to action tomorrow in the Junior Girls Shot Put competition.
😊 Big smiles all around from coach Paddy Hanily, and a huge thank you to both Paddy and Alan Holland for their dedication, guidance, and support throughout the season.
