Hi all,
We are looking forward to the U10 – U19 Relays on Day 4 of the Dublin Juvenile Indoor Championships this coming Saturday followed by the U17 & U19 Mixed Relays in conjunction with the U9 – U11 Spraoi Games this coming Sunday!
With close to 400 relay teams entered across all clubs – it will be a busy schedule – particularly on Saturday!
We would advise you to come prepared with sufficient food and drinks for the day and to be patient as the relays progress throughout the day.
Thank you to those who have already put your name forward to volunteer – we do need additional volunteers on Sunday to fulfil our required allocation - we hope you will be generous with your time if you have not already communicated your availability.
Please be kind and considerate to all volunteers and officials on the day – without them there would be no competition.
We ask you to read the following information carefully for all of the relevant competition details.
