While some fine early season sprinting and a number of exciting finishes were the highlights of the Leevale Track & Field meeting at Cork IT on Saturday, the big upset of the day came in the women’s 1500m, where European Junior silver medallist Ciara Mageean had to settle for second behind Orla Drumm.

CATHERINE WAYLAND was the toast of the Irish team at the Paralympic Athletics World Championships in Christchurch, New Zealand after taking a silver medal in the club throw in the F51 category.

THE final of the intermediate boys’ hurdles will provide the closest and possibly the most exciting finish of the day at the KitKat Munster Schools track and field championships at the UL track in Limerick tomorrow when Patrick Maher (Davis College, Mallow) and Edmund O’Halloran (St Francis College, Rochestown) renew rivalry.
