Darren O’Connell and Anna Fitzgerald both got through their heats with very strong performances and ran in the finals. Conor Kelliher had a super long jump at 3.32 meters.

It was the older age groups from Togher AC who particularly shone on the day when it came to results. Congratulations to Aisling O’Shaughnessy who was first in the U15 race walk. Aisling’s race walking is going from strength to strength. Sally Naughton competed in the 200m sprint and was first in the U19 Girls race, giving Sally a second gold county medal within one week.

Jessica Daly competed in the 3000m U19 race and won a silver medal.

A silver medal went to Maeve McTaggart in the 800m race also, to add to her silver medal in the 1500m last Sunday.  Maeve had an injury niggle which impacted upon her performance and prevented her from taking a gold by just seven seconds.

Michael Cullinane had a very strong 800m race and led with 200m to go, gathering pace and fending off two Leevale competitors to bring the gold medal to Togher. Another county medal joining Michael’s silver medal from Day 1 of the County Championships.
