Dooneen’s Niall Counihan has been selected to join the national jumps squad. Michael McDonnell has invited Niall to join the squad as a specialist triple jumper and he will now train regularly with some of Ireland’s other leading jumpers under the guidance of some top UK and international jumps coaches. This is a good boost for Niall, who has overcome recent injuries. Niall is a qualified physical trainer who formerly attended St. Enda’s College where he was introduced to athletics by Phil Roche. He has competed for Ireland on a number of occasions and last year was a key member of the UL Inter varsities team. He has also worked with Stephen Howard one of the club’s other triple jump specialists who has made good progress in his first season at this event. Well done to Niall.
