 This was a hugely positive experience for the 10 Cork athletes who travelled to Birmingham, to represent Ireland in the English AAA Championships, on August 26th and 27th


The aim of the trip was to enable some of the countries top younger athletes gain valuable experience, being members of an Irish squad, and to develop skills that will help them progress through the ranks

It was mission accomplished, and the feedback from the team was extremely positive on the overall experience

Under 15 Athletes

Ryan Onoh, Leevale AC, lit up the stadium with two outstanding performances in the U15 Boys Long Jump and High Jump events . He jumped a massive seasons best of 6:62m, to win the Long Jump, and won the High Jump, with an impressive 1.90. Simply outstanding!


Meabh O'Connell, Blarney-Inniscarra AC continued her fantastic throwing season. She threw a 1 meter PB in the U15 Discus, to claim a fantastic Silver medal. She also earned another podium place in the Shot, to round off a great first championship for her in the Irish singlet


Tiffany Nwaedozie, Belgooly AC, had a demanding schedule, as she took on the ultra competitive 200m and Long jump events. She performed well, and will learn a huge amount from the experience

The same can be said of our U15 Pole Vault National champion Noelle Mulcahy, Leevale AC. Going head to head against the best that England have to offer can only be a positive

Under 17 Athletes

Brianna Onoh, Leevale AC, hit top form for these championships. She threw three 14 plus meter throws in the girls U17 shot, which is serious throwing. This included a PB of 14:22m, to claim a great Silver medal for Ireland


Louise Mullins, Leevale AC, was giving away a year or more to most of her competitors, but showed her undoubted class, in the U17 Girls Hurdles. She was right up there in her heat, and really looked at home at this level


Katie Kingston, Leevale AC, had a highly productive Championships also. She was right on form and threw an impressive 37:86m PB, to finish 9th in the girls U17 Javelin


Hannah Falvey, Belgooly AC, had a demanding schedule, as she ran in bopth the 200m and 300m events. She reached the final of the 300m, after posting a really good time of just over 40 seconds in the heats, and reached the Semi-Finals of the 200m


Andrew Scanlan, Leevale AC,  performed extremely well. He finished 4th in the boys U17 javelin, throwing three 50+m throws, which included a 55.56m PB. Real top class throwing


David Ebo, Midleton AC, gained valuable international experience also, and will learn a great deal from this event. The 100m is a hugely competitive event, but he was right in the mix in his heat

Well done to everybody involved, and to all the coaches who looked after the athletes so well over the three days. Experiences like these are so vital to the development of the athletes. They will have learnt so much, and will be eager and motivated to continually improve, and perform to a high level, so that they can gain further experiences like these in the future

Other Cork Athletes

Very well done also to Meabh Corkery, Midleton AC, who performed very well in the U17 Girls Pole Vault. Meabh is well accustomed to performing at this level, and did so again on this occasion. Another great experience in the bank for her, as she finished an impressive 5th in the competition


Giselle Ahearne, Belgooly AC, was so close to making the podium in the Girls U15 High Jump, but was unfortunate to miss out, on count back. Nevertheless it was a super performance from Giselle, against Englands top high-jumpers. She showed her class in the hurdles also, and posted a really good time of 12:02 secs, in the heats of the 75m event

This weekend sees one of the major events in the Cork Athletics calendar, the Echo Women's Mini-Marathon  This event is the key fundraising event for Cork Athletics, and also for it's member clubs.  Cork County Board is asking all clubs to provide help in the form of stewards, officials, and other help

This is a Major fundraiser for Cork Athletics, without which the Board could not provide such as T&F, Road and XC Championships, Coaching Courses, Equipment & Safety Grants, organise Cork teams of all categories, and a myriad of other events & activities. It is also the source of funding for Cork Athletics facilities, particularly it's grounds at Riverstick, and, going forward, will, it is hoped, fund other future facilities

In addition the participants raise an estimated €1.3M for their own chosen charities

 

This event is our Life-Blood - Please Help!

The Echo Womens Mini-Marathon is organised and hosted by Cork Athletics, and sponsored by Cork's Evening Echo, for the 41st year. The proceeds help Cork Athletics fund its competitions and Championships. In addition it enables the Board to organise training, in coaching, coach education, child protection and safety, along with grants for athletics related equipment.  The Board also organises transport and accomodation for representative Cork teams.

Cork Athletics is a not-for-profit voluntary organisation. The Officers, Committee members and others who help to run the business of the Board are all volunteers, who give their time and expertise, free of charge, for the benefit of the athletes and the sport.
