Feb 24 The Fog in Tullaroan

2019-02-28T17:12:22+00:00

The fog in Tullaroan today dominated proceedings at the Juvenile Relays and Intermediate Championships. But it didn't take from the enjoyment experienced by our young athletes. A lot of the credit goes to Noel Maher who was out early and had the tent insitu to welcome the arrivals. The tent provided a mini-creche for babies in buggies as the mammies competed in the Intermediate race.  And there were many in the young age groups - four teams in some of the relays. First off was the open under 8 where some athletes had their first cross country experience and wore [...]

The National Senior Indoors were held in Abbottstown this weekend. KCH had five athletes involved in the competition. Eoin Everard, having comfortably qualified in Saturday's semi-final, was set for Sunday's final. A hitch with the lap counter left him with a major difficulty going into the final lap. Finishing strongly in 3.55.79 he placed second. Greater attention to the lap counter might have seen him closer to the 3.48.58 he posted at the Athlone International on Wednesday. Best of our sprinters was Callan Byrne who finished 6th in the 60m semi-final in 7.05. Ciara Deely, despite being second in her [...]
