Bandon Athletic Club had three athletes representing Ireland recently at the Celtic International Games held in Antrim on 13th August. All three produced impressive performances at the event and they brought home five medals in total. Phil Healy won the Girls U18 100m sprint and finished third in the 200m. Phil was also in action on the Irish 4 x 100m relay team which finished second. Colin Kingston competing in the U16 Shot Putt threw 15.11m which earned him a bronze medal. Bobby Smith, a relative newcomer to the Javelin, had a fantastic personal best throw which also won him the U16 bronze medal. The Celtic Games is an international competition between athletes from Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales and it is a huge achievement for the competing athletes and the Club to bring home five medals from the Championships. The three athletes were selected on the basis of their performance at the All Ireland AAI Track & Field Championships in July.<\/p>\n
At the National Senior Athletic Championships in Santry on 6h August, Joan Healy finished third in the 100m sprint with her sister Phil following in sixth place. Laura McSweeney came fourth in Shot Putt competition with Lynn Bradfield also competing.<\/p>\n
