Champion Rudisha and Br O’Connell visit schools

Two Mallow schools were given a rare treat today when they received a visit from one of the hottest properties in the world of sport.

World and Olympic 800m champion David Rudisha was guest at the Patrician Academy and also the boys’ national school.

He was joined by his coach and mentor Br Colm O’Connell, a former student of the national school in the north Cork town.
