Just a result that caught my eye at the weekend was the performance of Carrick-on-Shannon's Daire Farrell in the AAI Games 800m where he won the B race in a time of 1:54.62 and in the process just ducked under the qualifying standard of 1:55.0 for the European Youth Oympics this summer. Well done Daire and to Carrick-on-Shannon AC! Its a phenomenal time for an U17 to run and great for Connacht athletics! Westport AC's David Harper was unlucky not…
