Jane Hosey and Nira O' Gorman were both awarded 3rd place in the Intermediate competition

Congratulations also goes to Eimear Jackman who finished joint 5th overall in the Open League. This is a great achievement as it's Eimear's first year to compete at Open level

A very big well done to everyone who took part.
