At all-Ireland level Aisling was 5th in 60m U13 60m while Eimear was 6th in U17 100m final.
Clearly these girls hold their own at the pinnacle of underage competition.
A combination of factors make-up this achievement – apart from ability, there is the application which the girls deliver, guidance of their coaches and the support of families.
