Some good performances from club members at the Munster Juvenile ‘B’ Track & Field Championships in Ennis last Sun.
in the u12 age group Aisling Casssidy won Gold in the Long Jump and won Silver in both the High Jump and 60m sprint. In the u14 age group Amy Crowley won Bronze in the Shot Put.

Well done to Aisling and Amy on these achievements.

The men’s and womens team both put in good performances on day 2 of the National league in Tullamore on Sunday.
The men’s team had a great day1 and dominated the field events on day2 and when all the points are added up find themselves in a good placing heading into the final in the First Division.
Things were a lot tighter in the premier division for the womens team but with good solid performances throughout the team they also have done enough to get to the final.
Well done to both teams.

He also finished in 6th place in the Shot Put with a throw of 13.97m

At the Cork City Sports event last night Phil Healy had a good run in one of the 100m races to win in a time of 12.11 which was the 4th fastest time over the 2 races.
Joan Healy didn’t finish her 100m as she unfortunately pulled up with an injury.
In the women Hammer throw, Laura McSweeney put in a good sequence of throws to finish in 8th place with a best throw of 44.18m.
In the Junior Men’s Mile race, Mark O’Sullivan finished in 12th place in a time of 4:35.31.
