DSD women through to League final, Crusaders men doubtful

Defending  premier women’s champions Dundrum South Dublin are through to the National Track and Field League final. After two rounds, the young DSD team tops the table ahead of strong teams from Leevale and Clonliffe.

St Abban’s and Clonliffe end up with equal point and share the lead on the men’s premier table.  Based on the provisional  points totals below, it looks like defending men’s champions Crusaders aren’t through.

In division 1, the Meath County women lead the table ahead of St Abban’s , with Nenagh Olympic chased by Donore in the men’s  competition. The league final takes place in Tullamore on August 3.
