We had the U12/19 Munster indoor champs this weekend And starting with the U12s we had an excellent weekend.
Anna Paxman and Lilly Duffy were both fantastic when finishing 2nd & 3rd in a very competitive U12 600m event. This age group is very strong in the club with Mairéad O'Brien 60m, Kara O'Carroll 600m and Jane Quigley long jump & 60m also performing very well. Ruairí Walshe took 2nd in his heat and 5th overall after an excellent run In the U12 boys 600m. Niamh Boland and Hannah O'Shaughnessy were also in action with Niamh competing in the U13 Long Jump, Shot Putt & High Jump and Hannah in the U13 Long Jump. Ben Walshe competing in the U14 800m finished 5th overall despite winning his heat in 2m 25s. Also U14 Róisín Duffy was 4th in her high jump with 1.40m U15 Tom Walshe retained his Munster 800m title with a very impressive performance in 2m16s. Ellen O'Dwyer with a clearence of 1.55m took the silver medal in the U15 high jump for her first Munster individual medal and well done to Emma Carolan receiving Bronze in the U15 shot Put. Ellie and Sarah McEvoy were both busy this weekend after competing in the 60m Hurdles (Ellie), 60m Dash (Sarah) as well as High Jump and Shot Put. Ellie was 4th U15 high jump with a PB of 1.50m. Sarah also made a PB of 1.30m. Well done both! Luke Purcell who is usually more at home at cross country was our top performer in the U16 age group with a battling 2nd place in the 1500m which will give him lots of confidence going into the upcoming all Ireland schools cross country. James Sage who is returning from injury took 3rd place in the U16 hurdles and Seán Hayes was 4th in his U16 800m final. Another athlete who came into the championships hoping to retain their title was Ailbhe O'Neill in the U17 800m. This she did in style and also added the 1500m title for good measure to come out as our star athlete of the weekend. Louis Doyle took the bronze medal in the U17 200m final in a very tight race for his first Munster individual medal. Our two U19 boys took a title each with Joe McEvoy winning the 60m hurdles and Sean Carolan winning the Long jump with Joe taking the silver in the same event. Photographs of this weekend's competition can be found on our Facebook page. We went into this race last year quietly confident of taking the title but this year because of an injury to the classy and ultra reliable Cian Hodgins we knew that only a top class run from the rest of the squad would suffice if we were to win the U15 junior title for Nenagh CBS.
Tom Walshe, Ráthnaleen is never found wanting in pressurised situations and stepped up to lead the team home with 4th placed individual despite the ultra hilly Waterford IT course not being ideal for this classy track star. Our next two boys home Luke Purcell, Newtown in 10th & Jamie Moloney, Ballycommon in 11th on the other hand can't get enough of the hills and both made significant progress on the last long uphill drag to ensure we won the title. Luke just confirmed his mountain goat capabilities while Jamie only started training with this group after last year's all Ireland schools win but has come a long way in that time. Another track star Seán Hayes, Puckaun was our fourth scorer in 23rd place despite not being fully fit after a recent back injury. Sean Moylan, lisboney is the most recent welcome addition to the squad and was our fifth man home after a very solid run. The three weeks period from now to all Ireland day in Clongowes, Clane Co Kildare will be spent making sure we have no more injuries which are really just growing pains as the whole squad has grown 3/4 ins in the last 6 months and trying to get Cian and Seán back to full fitness. Niamh and Ellen Cuneen, St Mary's Convent, Nenagh had very strong runs in 8th and 12th respectively in the girls intermediate race. These multi sports stars can be viewed in last week's Guardian winning Soccer and Camogie titles with their school and finished their junior mock exams the day before the race so this was top class performance. Lucy Mulcahy running for Presentation Thurles had a very solid run also in 25th position in the Inter race. Next week its back to indoor competition in Nenagh with the Munster U12 / 19 championships coming to town. All Ireland universities indoors AIT
The club had a busy 3 day weekend which started with the All Ireland universities indoors in Athlone on Friday. We took just one medal when Dan Finnerty got a silver medal with the UL 4x200m squad where he is doing his masters. This was Dan's second year in a row getting a relay medal but with different universities as last year he graduated from Carlow IT. We had four fourth places with Ciara Cummins in the 800, Paul White in the 400, and Deirbhile Ryan very unlucky indeed with two fourths in the high jump and shot. Margaret Mary Grace ran a swift low 60s 400m heat but didn't progress to the final. Munster U/9 to U/11 Indoor Championships On Saturday we had the munster U9/11 championships in Nenagh. This was a very competitive competition and while we didn't take home any silverware our athletes did us proud with a number of finalist. Fionn Tucker came closest with fourth in the U10 60m final. Well done to all who competed. Munster Junior, Senior & Masters Indoor Championships Then on Sunday we had the Munster junior U20, U23 and senior / masters indoor championships also in Nenagh. Mark Tierney had a great day with 1st in the pole vault and 2nd in the senior shot. Ailbhe O'Neill despite being the youngest competitor beat all comers including the seniors when winning the U20 title. This 15 Yr old has another 3yrs in the junior catagory so we look forward to seeing what she can do in the future. Darragh Miniter also had a good day with silver in both the 60m & long jump in the U20 catagory. Another young athlete competing in the juniors for the first time was Louis Doyle and he ran exceptionally well to take the silver in the junior 200m. Aaron Quigley got his indoor campaign off to a flying start with a fine win in the U23 3000m. The Architecture student in UCD is more associated with cross country or road so he will be very pleased with this performance. Checkout our Facebook page for pictures!  Our Nenagh Olympic athletes that won County Tipperary awards last night for their success during 2018 at regional, national and international level in track and field and cross country
