COMMUNITY  GAMES:  Well Done Nicole.

Last weekend Nicole McNamara travelled to Athlone to represent Limerick and Granagh/Ballingarry in the Girls U/8 60metre sprint.           She had a brilliant success coming 3rd in the National Final.   Nicole began her campaign by winning her heat and then going on to finish second in the Semi-Final.   This qualified her for the Final and she ran a terrific race to capture bronze.    Congratulations from all associated with community games.
