Strikes again
Eileen
returned to Morton Stadium last weekend
at the Dublin International Games in
Santry and continued where she left off
the previous week by adding to her one
week old mark of 68.14 with a new
National Record of 69.36, ever closer to
the elusive 70m mark. She beat
Hungarian, Katalin Divos, a European
medal winner, who managed a best throw
of 63.39. With Eileen in this kind of
form and coming up against the best
throwers in the world we should not be
surprised if she makes that mighty 70
meter milestone. Best of luck Eileen.
Eileen
was not the only Kilkenny athlete to show her class at these games. Emily Maher,
competing in the 100m. finished 2nd
to Ailish Mc Sweeney, Leevale. Emily's
time was 11.56s slightly faster than her
third place finish in the National
Championships the previous weekend.
Sinead Delahunty had a comfortable win
in the 1500 in the rather pedestrian
time of 4m13.17s.
Brian Maher moved up to the 3000
and put in a fine performance to win
bronze in a time of 8m24.76s knocking
over three seconds off his PB in the
process. Mick Kelly, Gowran AC, also had
a PB in this event coming in at 8m43s.
