Well done to Roisin Howard who competed in the England Athletics Combined Events Championships in Bedford last weekend. Roisin was having a decent heptathlon until an injury in the long jump restricted her to a standing throw for Javelin which turned out to be a PB
Unfortunately Roisin could not race the 800 due to injury.
Wishing Roisin a speedy recovery and I’m sure she will be back in action again soon.

The town park training area has recently seen the addition of a new and impressive throws cage.
This is a big improvement in both position and quality on the old cage and great credit needs to go to Paul Kingston who was the main man behind the planning and implementation of the cage.
The installation was done last Mon and when all was done Cian Kingston took the first throws from the cage.
Hopefully this new cage will make it easier for the hammer and discus throwers in the club to practice and improve.

Bandon A.C will once again be holding its very successful summer camp.

Well done to all the Bandon athletes who competed in the Round 1 of the National League in Tullamore last Sunday, especially those who came out of semi-retirement or those who competed in events they would not be familiar with.
Both teams were missing a number of athletes due to exams, study and injuries but still put in some very good performances leaving both teams still in with a chance of making the league final in August.
Star performer on the day was Shane Howard who recorded win’s in the Hurdles, Pole Vault and High Jump.
