Boys Novice - All Ireland Finals

13th February 2000

    This year the boys All Ireland Novice Finals were held in Portlaoise, and Wexford had two hopefuls for medal positions. Cian Martin was competing in U/12 event and Liam O'Connell was competing in the Boys U/10 event. Both our lads had done well at their regional competition, and were looking well leading up to this competition.

    Liam performed a good compeition and finished 13th in a very tight competition. Cian performed to his absolute best, and among good apposition, claimed 3rd place with a 9.5 on vault and 8.6 on floor. This gave Cian a total of 18.1, which was only 0.2 behind 1st place.

    Well done to our lads, and we now look to the girls, who will be competing next week in Cork. The girls 'A' competition will be held on Saturday 19th February, and the 'B' competition will be held on Sunday 20th February. Both competitions will be held in the Douglas Gymnastics Hall, and we are looking forward to a good days competition.
