O'Keefe smashes Irish hammer record

Kilkenny hammer thrower Eileen O'Keeffe broke her own Irish record twice to claim her seventh straight title at the Woodie's DIY National Senior Track and Field Championship in Santry this afternoon.

Indeed, O'Keeffe became the first Irish woman to throw over 70 metres - incredibly doing it on five occasions at the Morton Stadium - to ease to victory with a stunning new national mark of 73.21 metres.
