The reduced number of Graded Meetings due to Covid 19 were very much appreciated by athletes with one happy participant exclaiming " it was fantastic to be back on the track I thought we were never going to get a opportunity to compete.The effort of the Graded Meeting Team to stage the events is very much appreciated."

Cherry Nolan won the first women's 1500 holding of the challenge of Niamh Kearney in 4m37.57.

Raheny's Niamgh Fogarty had the best throw in the women's discus with 46,84 and Eoin Sheridan of Clonliffe 51.31 effort lead the men's field.

Raheny's Brian Fay took the field along in the "A" Men's 5000m dropping out at 3k with 8m23s on the clock to Leave Sean Tobin in front who retained his rhythm to clock 13m53,65s a good start to his outdoor season. Paul O'Donnell of D.S.D. ran a very measured race to clock14m16,36 in second with Eoin Everard third.Next up was Conor Duffy who held off the challenge of Mick Clohissey.
In another 5k James Hyland held off the home straight challenge of his Raheny Clubmate David Rooney who was making a return to competition after a long absence.. no fewer than 92 athletes competed in the 5000m series which indicates the need for competition in this truncated track and field season.

Juvenile Competition:
It is with regret that Dublin Athletic Board have had to decide that Juvenile competition within Dublin cannot go ahead.
This is based on:
1) The fact that Phase 4 of the Covid restrictions has not being implemented and as such numbers of attendees are restricted to 200.
2) This decision is in line with the Leinster Athletics decision, which came to the same conclusion.
3) It also draws upon the experience gained from the Graded meeting of the 22/7/20.
Just to be clear; even if the numbers are increased to 500, there are still significant challenges to organising a Juvenile competition.
So please do not automatically assume that if the restriction on numbers is lifted to 500, that competition will be organised.
Tallaght 5k:
Please note that the Tallaght 5k event has been postponed to the 16th August (one week later than it's original scheduled date).
This too is in the hope that restrictions on numbers is increased.
Further notices on the event will be posted, closer to the 16th August.
