Despite the mixed weather conditions on Sunday, large numbers took part in the Craughwell Community in the main hurling field – with over 140 children and teenagers in action, in particular the U10 boys sprint where 3 heats had to be held. It was also great to see fully contested sprints in the U16 girls and U16 boys 100m, with 5 athletes in action in each race and hopefully with the parish fielding teams in both U16 relay events in the Galway finals for possibly the first time ever.

The Community Games committee would like to thank everyone who helped out on the day, the other local sports clubs for avoiding having juvenile fixtures that day, the local GAA club for the use of the pitch and Eamonn Waters for sponsoring some treats for the younger children.

For those who qualified for the Galway Community Games finals, these take place in Ballinderreen on the Sunday and Monday of the June bank holiday weekend (5/6 June).

Full results of the day are set out below.
