Brave Aisling returns in style

She was drawn in the first heat of the U14 80metres which she won in a time of 10.91.  

She was second in the final in a time of 10.94. 

The race was won in a time of 10.72 seconds. This is another great achievement for Aisling and a particularly satisfying one as she has just returned from injury. She will compete in the All-Ireland Championships in July.
