Cillian O Donovan was outstanding in regional two 11/12 years and took gold for the second year running!
Taking a big jump from last year, both Cillian Kelly and Gavin Hartnett took gold and silver respectively in the 8-10years NDP2, both with very strong performances!!
In the NDP 11/12 years, Cliona Mc Laughlin somersaulted herself to a silver medal and Lillian Kavanagh had the highest score in her first run but was unlucky with a little error in her second. Both girls have jumped two levels since last year and were absolutely fantastic!
