What a busy time! Cork City Sports is barely over and it's off to Santry on Friday night for the Morton Games. For Pia Langton it's her third race inside a week so clocking 2.09.40 for the 800 is no mean achievement. Cliodhna Manning continued her good season performances with a sub 53 seconds (52.94) for the 400. Then it's off to Tullamore for Day 3 of the national juveniles.

Jul 09 Cork City Sports

Sean Lynch2025-07-10T11:53:33+01:00

Cathal O'Reilly and Pia Langton were our representatives at tonight's Cork City Sports. Cathal went in the mile where he clocked 4.09.21. Probably a good result considering his excellent victory in the U23 1500m a mere four days previously. Pia was also on the track on 5th Jul in the U20 where she simply ran in a 400m heat. Fresh then to Cork and came away with a PB of 2.06.00 for the 800m. Congratulations.
