In a week that saw Eric Keogh, John Travers and Eamon Fahey perform brilliantly in the Inter Varsities in the wonderful indoor stadium in Athlone, more of our young athletes and not so young headed for the Leinster Track and Field championships at the same venue.

The Performance of the day came from the renewed Sean Lawlor who having won his heat impressively ran a magnificent final to take the Junior title in a personal best time of 22.30. Sean later teamed up with juniors Adam, Conor and Senior captain Dave to take silver in the Senior men’s 4×100 m relay.
