It’s a busy upcoming month for our athlete Ben Naughton.

This weekend Ben competes in the Inter provincial Athletics finals in Carlow at the Tailteann Games.

Next weekend Ben hits for the first of the All Ireland Outdoor Athletics finals where he competes in the u17 400m on June 27th and 800m on June 28th.

A slight break for two weeks, Ben then returns for the 1500m all Ireland u17 on July 11th in Tullamore.

Ben will be hoping his efforts in the Taillteann games this weekend will qualify him the Schools international finals in Belfast on July 18th.

We wish Ben the very best in the coming weeks and congratulations to him on his season successes to date.
