There were some very competitive sprints races in Castleisland last Sunday 16th, with a host of familiar sprinters making the trip to Kerry for the 2010 AAI Games.
Niamh Whelan won a very close 100m in 11.79, recording the same time as her Ferrybank teammate Kelly Proper in second. Joan Healy (Bandon AC) was third in 11.92. This was the only Grade 2 event of the day giving Whelan 10 more points to add to her commanding lead in the League Table. She now stands on 30 points, Proper is 2nd with 14 points and Healy 3rd at present with 11.
The 200m was also a very close race with Kelly Proper first from Niamh Whelan in second and Claire Brady (Celbridge AC) in third.
Claire Bergin (DSD AC) finished strongly to take the Women's 400m, ahead of Jessie Barr (Ferrbank AC) in 2nd and Joan Healy 3rd.
In the Men's, Dean Adams (Ballymena & Antrim) won the 100m in 10.75 ahead of David O’Shea (Dooneen AC) in 10.79 and Patrick Phelan (DSD AC) third in 10.89.
Gordon Kennedys (Tullamore Harriers AC) won the 200m in 21.7 ahead of his teammate Eoin Hannon with 21.95. Brian Murphy (UCC AC) was third in 21.98. Kennedy finished 4rth in the 100m later in the day and with his current form and speed over the shorter distances, one can only anticipate good things for his first 400m of the outdoor season.
A strong headwind down the back straight made things difficult in the 4oom, with David McCarthy (Le Cheile AC) proving the strongest to win in 48.26. This was a fantastic performance considering he also won the 800m in 1.52.03only an hour previously. Brian Murphy was a close second in 48.36, with Nick Hogan (DSD AC) third in 49.06.
