The Limerick County Indoor Finals were held in the Nenagh Olympic track on Saturday last, the first of the indoor meets of the winter season. There was a great turnout from all Limerick clubs with Dooneen having 83 athletes in action, many of whom did extremely well on their first time in competition.

There were many fine club performances on the day, with the hurdlers opening proceedings in fine style, clearly showing the benefits of top class coaching. Lily Ann O’Hora one of Dooneen’s rising young stars showed again why she is so promising by winning a good triple in the 60m hurdles, the 60m sprint and then the 200m. High jumper Emmanuel Sabayo who competed on the Dooneen Junior men’s team in Belgium in September, had a fine day also in the 60m sprint but also helped the junior relay team which included David Carroll, Cathal Bennis and Shane Burke to get up for a fine victory.
Others to do well were the Kilbeggan bound pair of Jessica Coyne 1st in her 800m and Brigitta Murphy who was 2nd in her 800m. Dylan Sheehan who missed much of the cross country season through illness, got up for second in his 800m though out of age, while the highly promising Greg O’Shea and Laura Nevin also performed well in their respective sprints. Another athlete to catch the eye was Cillian Ryan who won the 60m hurdles and also did well in the 60m sprint.
Well done to all athletes who participated on the day and all the coaches and volunteers who helped out. It was great to see some new faces helping out. Detailed results will follow.
