There was a strange atmosphere at the

Irish National TT Championships which were held in the IWA Sports Hall in Clontarf over saturday 29th and Sunday 30th September due to the strict Covid arrangements which have been put in place. Claire and Mia both won their groups and their quarter finals. Unfortunately they were drawn together in the Semi final from which Mia progressed. The final was between Sophie Early and Mia, Sophie won 3-0.

Also on the same weekend a big congrats to Mia who won the Junior Girls National title
