This weekend the 29th and 30th of July the Combined Events will take place in Tullamore. The boys and girls aged 14, 15 and 16 compete in the Pentathlon. The girls 17,18,19 compete in the Heptathlon and the boys of the same age-groups have an Octathlon. Tremendous competition always at the multi-events and the versatility of some of our athletes has to be seen to be believed. The competition starts at 11 a.m. on the Saturday. The Pentathlons finish on the Saturday but the remaining events of the Heptathlon and Octathlon for the older age-groups continues on to the Sunday. On the Sunday we have our "B" Championships for the 12, 13, 14 and 16 age-groups. These championships are open to any athlete who did not win a medal at our National Championships. The enthusiasm will be there and there will be some very exciting races to win a medal. Hopefully both days will be fine and the athletes can give of their best.
