Galway’s’ finest are on show today. From Athenry-Rohan, Meehan, Healy, Somers,…

Jerry Leaps to National Silver!

jkearyu16

Jerry Keary was the pride of the club on Saturday when he jumped a brilliant 1.70m to take the silver medal in the U16 boys high jump, in the process eclipsing the previous club best in this age group by 10cm. Jerry got off to a wobbly start knocking 1.55m on his first attempt and then proceeding to clear 1.60 and 1.65 on his first attempt.

peter 1500 2015

It was another great weekend for club stalwarts Peter O’Sullivan and Damian Larkin, who both were to the fore again.  Peter took on the might of Masters athletes all over Ireland, and finished superbly – taking Gold in the M40 1500 (4.10) and Silver in the M40 800m (2.03).  The 1500m (pictured above) in particular was a great run, as a storming finish saw him finish a convincing winner ahead of all the M35s as well as the M40s in…
