In-form Maher has sights on Munster double
He will be competing in familiar surroundings as it was at this venue he set the national junior record at 52.14 secs at the Leevale Sports and he returned last week to win the 400m at the second session of the South Munsters.
He won the national junior indoor 400m title with a 50 sec run and if he improves on that outdoors then he will take a lot of beating. The big challenge in both events, however, could come from Tim Crowe (Limerick TC) whose father, Tim, is a former national champion and international at both 400m and 400m hurdles.
