National U18 Championships – FINAL RESULTS

The 2017 National Under-18 Championships drew to a close this evening in Dublin.

Four champions, one through walkover, were crowned at the National Stadium following four days of competition spread over two weekends of action.

Today saw World Championships medalists Paddy Donovan (walkover), Eamer Coughlan, and Gabriel Dossen, claim their ninth, third, and third Irish titles respectively along with David Oliver Joyce of Ballymun – cousin of his Olympian namesake – who grabbed Irish title number four.

Eleven champions in total were decided, and ten of these (excluding pinweight) will be hoping to be selected for the European Youth Championships this September in Turkey
