2014 Review - F.W. O'Donovan

The 2014 season was fairly good, although it is not flattered by comparison with the previous year's figures, with 6 meetings, as against 9 in 2013.  The average no. of athletes per meeting was 59.3, less than the 2013 figure, 67.25, but more than the 2012, 52.  The no. of athletes per event follows a similar pattern and performance standards are consistent over the last 3 years.

Five (5) Cork clubs were represented at all 6 meeting and only these 5 clubs averaged more than 2.5 athletes per meeting.  13 clubs averaged less than 1 athlete per meeting.   On 32 occasions Cork athletes competed as the only member of their club. The number of entries needs to be increased. If increased newspaper coverage can't be achieved, it is even more important that the clubs, and County Board, promote the league.

Last year the question of rewarding personal best performances was discussed. There was not enough information to proceed. In the 2014 competitions athletes provided their PB's and a table is attached, showing the % response and 70 PB's in various events for future consideration.

It is important to fix the competition dates for 2015 as soon as possible and a sub-committee meeting should be held in early February to draw up dates and programmes.

Some misgivings were expressed about the scoring tables but in the absence of an alternative they must continue to be used.
