It was a hugely successful weekend for the club with athletes competing in the EAP meet in Namur Belgium, the British Milers Club meet in Watford and the National T&F League in Cork IT. In Namur, Marian Andrews continued her superb start to the season with another win in the 400m with 54.27. Marian competes for Ireland in the European Team championship next weekend in Slovakia. Also copmeting in Namur was Robert Heffernan winning the 5000m walk easily in 20.33.71, using the race as a light workout to test out his injured ankle. At the BMC meet in Watford on Saturday night Craig Murphy continued his recent good form and set yet another personal best with a 6th place finish in the 5000m in 14.28.55. Craig has already set PBs over 800m 1.55 and 1500m 3.50 this season and plans an assult on his 3000m best at the Cork City Sports on July 4th. On Sunday the combined Togher AC/Bandon AC competed in the National League at Cork IT. No results are available at present but the team did very well on day one of this competition, with day 2 set for either Santry or Tullamore on July 5th.
Next weekend sees the clubs juvenile athletes head to Waterford to take part in the Munster u14-u19 T&F championships. Best of luck to all competing.
