The first few months of the new year are always tough as dancers from the Open level can choose to come back into the Intermediate level that Megan
competes in.

Competition was really tough but Meg still managed to come home with a couple of medals. She placed:-

Intermediate

Hornpipe – 2nd
Heavy Trophy – 6th

The New Season started with a class feis this year, Meg is now in the U12s.

Megan and Beth were dancing in a group of U13s who compete at Open level,
but they didn’t let phase them and both came home with a handful of medals
and trophies.

Big big day for Megan and Beth. They were asked to take part in the solo
competition of the Regional Qualifiers for the World Championships. They
took part last year as part of a team in the 8 hand, but this year they
would be dancing on their own.

It was held in Southport and made even more nerve racking for them because
it was held on the stage in Southport Theatre.

The competition was a very high standard as you would expect, but the girls
held their own and danced brilliantly, and they looked fantastic in their new
dresses!

We went to Leeds today for the Tracey Scanlon Feis.

It was a trophy feis, so everyone placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd in every
dance got a trophy.

Placed:

Primary:
2nd – Hornpipe

Intermediate:
8th – Reel
4th – Light Trophy

Well done Beth, she got a trophy for 1st place in the Slip Jig.

That’s the last time I compete in a Feis when I’m not
feeling very well. I didn’t have the energy.

Placed:

7th – Reel
6th – Light Jig

and it was all downhill from there, I just wanted to go to bed!

Now U11s. I am in Intermediate for all my dances except the Hornpipe.
Some of the girls who moved into Open last year have moved back down
and the competition is alot harder.

Placed:

7th – Reel

Result: 7th (top 5 qualified)

A huge well done to the other Lally teams that qualified
you were magnificent and deserved to qualify
good luck at the world championships next year.
