NEWCASTLE AC juniors attended the first meet of the Firmus Fab 5 Series at the Mary Peters Track on Thursday night, taking part in nine events collectively.

Calum Cope won his heat in the U-13 boys’ 100 metre race. Calum also came a commendable third in the U-13 boys’ long jump competition.

The O’Gorman family were out in force with Daire, Thomas and Aoibheann taking part in seven events throughout the evening.

Well done to Daire and Thomas who both took part in the U-11 boys’ long jump and 60 metre race. Aoibheann competed fantastically well in the U-13 girls’ 100 metre race, 800 metre race and shot putt competition.
