Well done to our third medalist at Nationals - Patrick (Patch) Phelan, who won bronze in the men's 200m in 22.34 secs. This completed a long weekend of sprinting for Patch, who featured on RTE's coverage of the event this evening!

 Congratulations to our medalists this year - Nick Hogan took gold in the 400m in 48.59 sec. Hazel Murphy smashed her 3km PB to run 9:05 - just 2 seconds outside the qualifying standard for Doha! "I'm delighted", Hazel said afterwards, "My coach Karl Byrne was hoping for 9:10, so this is fantastic! I'm hoping to run faster next weekend at the AAA's and hopefully get the time for Doha". Good luck in Sheffied at AAA's Hazel! John Crowley and Patch Phelan made the semis in a tough 60m. Aoife MacNeill ran her first indoor race for a number of years and just missed out on a place in the final - well done Aoife & welcome back!. Ciaran Cronin was 5th in the TJ in a new indoor pb of 12.07m. Mark Kavanagh won his heat of the 200m in fine style. This race was run very late on Saturday night. Earlier on, Sinead Denny had gained good experience going in the 800m. Several races still had to be run on Sunday night when this coach had to head back to Dublin! Additional results to be added tomorrow! |

Nice one lads.. In Sunday's Dublin Masters CC Championships in Tymon Park (on sticky ground cut up by the previous day's BHAA race) Ian O'Leary finished 4th overal, closely followed by John Healy in 9th. Tony O'Halloran was credited with 28th (although it could be a mistake as no one seems to have seen him - Tony, if you were there let me know). Sheelagh Jones put it up to the lads by finishing 20th in the womens race.
Darren Spring has some great photos up on his website www.racepix365.com. To see just the DSD Athletes Click Here. To see all photos Click Here. |
