Meath Inter Club League Report- Day 1

The opening night of the 2013 Meath Inter Club League was held in Navan last Wednesday. The rain, cold and strong winds did not deter our members with over 50 athletes competing for the club on the night. The competition was of a high standard with a large number of athletes particularly in the u9-13 age groups taking part.

We had great success on the night with 12nr 1^st place, 5nr 2^nd place and 3nr 3^rd places finishes to make up our top 20 score. This was a great start to the competition and hopefully we can get out similar numbers over the next 3 league nights. 

Thanks to all athletes and parents who made the trip, and to all parents who helped out on the night officiating. The next league night will be on May 1^st in Navan at 7pm, details of events to follow.

42 Year Old Club Record finally broken at the Irish University Championships

Eamon Wallace set a new pb and club record for the 400m when he finished second in the Irish University Championships which were held at the Mardyke track in Cork last weekend. In a close race in wet and windy conditions Eamon was beaten by Mark English, who was a finalist in the World Junior Championships in 2012. Eamon’s time at the weekend was 48.51s which broke the 400m club record which had stood for 42 years, the previous record was set by our former club chairman Ronnie Quigley, Ronnie set the record in Gormanston at the North Eastern Regional Champions in 1971 on a cinder track with a time of 49.1s.

Eamon’s time was also just 2 tenths of a second outside the qualifying standard of 48.3s for the European Junior Championships which take place this year in Italy in July. Eamon has until June 30^th to make the qualifying time, and with more favourable weather conditions he has a great chance of making the standard.
