Review 2003 Lucozade Dublin Juvenile Athletics Championships
Venue ALSAA, Dublin
Date Friday - Sunday, 13 - 15th June  2003

  We had some of the best weather for the summer so far at the competition over the three days.  This brought out the spectators for a great atmosphere with excellent competition in Track & Field as well as good 'craic' among the athletes off the field.   The competitors responded with some fine performances all-round and Clonliffe did particularly well.   In the end, we brought home a total of 51 medals, 19 Gold, 19 Silver and 13 Bronze (with 11 fourth places, some very close).   There were gutsy performances from people who didn't make it into the medals as well and each of them tried their hardest, well done.

  A number of athletes competed in multiple events with great success, here is the summary:
