There was a pretty strong performance from the galway atheletes at the Irish Indoor championships in belfast last weekend.

 In particular Craughwell’s own William Finnegan posted a fine distance in the senior mens long jump, coming 8th overall.

The other outstanding craughwell result was the great performance of Ann Loughnane in the 3k walk, easily outpacing the rest of the field in a highly creditable 13:18:71.

Galway’s Gary Thornton was an excellent 3rd in the 3K.
