Please note that where an Athlete is running under their correct age category for trial, but is eligible for new category by 12th Nov, then this will have to be factored in by Selection Comm when selecting Teams. The onus is on the Athlete to notify IMAA in advance to avoid any problems arising after Teams are named.

As IMAA are hosting the British & Irish Masters Champs in Santry Demesne on Sat 12th Nov, we are hoping to field strongest teams possible across all the age groups. So if any Athletes know of fellow club members who can contest for places on the teams but possibly not aware of an opportunity to represent their Country, please relay the message. This is a prestigious Championship with each & every placing keenly contested.
Selection Comm will meet following the trial on Mon night, so any anomalies that may appear in the results, please advise Pat @internationalsec@gmail.com prior to Teams been picked.
Best wishes to all those who will be seeking selection.
