Irelands Call

Athletics Ireland have confirmed that two Sligo athletes have been selected on the Irish schools team for the Home Countries International in Kent in three weeks’ time after their success at the interprovincial Tailteann games in Santry last weekend. Sligo AC clubman Zak Irwin from Sligo Grammar School will contest both the 100 and 200 metre events, and is set to compete on the 4x100 metre relat team as well. North Sligo’s Cian McBride from Summerhill College will compete in the 800m discipline. Both Irwin and McBride still have another year to compete at this level. Well done to both lads.

All Stars....

Stacey Kerr had a brilliant run to finish 4th in the Tailteann Games 300m and orla muvihill ran really well in the 3,000m, Another fantastic achievement was that of Stacey Kerr who was part of the Connaught team that made history by winning the 4 x 300mtrs Relay. Today Killian O'Connor won the 3,000m steeplechase at the National Junior Championships in Tullamore in a time 0f 10.31 almost a minute ahead of second place, also Emily Burns finished 2nd, Colm Bourke continues his return from injury with a 6m10cm jump to finish 5th likewise Rachael Kilgallen finished a credible 5th in the girls U23 800m. Well done to all.

Richard doesn't do things by "HALF"

Sligo AC athlete Richard Gorman from Colooney ran a superb personal best in today's Longford half marathon, Richard ran 74min 29sec to finish 2nd male and third overall just behind our Olympic Marathoner Linda Byrne from Dublin. This is just reward for Richard who trains exceptionally hard and can be seen pounding the tar of the Sligo to Colooney dual Carriageway some mornings that early that the birds haven't even got out of their nests. Richard was no sooner across the finish line but he was heard saying that he now needs to go sub 74...Well done Richard from all in Sligo AC and we have no doubt that we will be very soon reading about the sub 74.
