🏃♀️🏃♂️Junior Training Weekend in Cumbria
This weekend three of our junior members, Emma Graham, Anastasia Mahlych and Peter Gamble, joined 4 other Irish juniors for a fantastic training opportunity at the Hawkshead Training Camp in the Lake District.
It sounds like they had a really enjoyable time training together and meeting with juniors from across the UK.
👏A huge thanks to Steph Pruzina along with Dave Masterson (Irish Junior Coach) who organised to bring them and accompanied them on the trip (they even brought them back). Steph has been doing so much to encourage our junior programme throughout the year, from introducing skills to newcomers to preparing our young people to compete in national competition. Thank you so much! Thanks also to all the coaches, helpers and parents who support our young athletes, it is greatly appreciated.
