FIVE Laois athletes are among the eight competitors set to represent Ireland at the World Under-18 Youth Cup Mountain Running Championships in Donovaly, Slovakia this coming Saturday.

JUST one week on from the Laois Senior Road race in Ballyroan, the Laois Intermediate road race was held in a sunny Killeen on Sunday, along a scenic loop. Thanks to St Abban's AC for hosting and supplying the refreshments afterwards.

WELL done to all the St Abban’s AC juveniles who travelled to Offaly on Saturday for the Leinster Juvenile Cross Country Relays. The club had five teams competing across all age groups with all securing team medals which was a fantastic achievement.
