John Walshe writes:

After a break of over six months, the Cork City Sports Athlete of the Month Awards resumed with the recipients for February, March and April receiving their presentations at The River Lee hotel.


Liam O’Brien, Technical Director of the Cork City Sports and one of the selectors, said it was under very unusual circumstances due to the little activity that had taken place since March that it was possible to honour the people present. He praised Cork City Sports Chairman, Tony O’Connell, saying he was very keen in continuing the monthly awards which have now been on the go for over a dozen years.

Avril Millerick of St Mary’s High School, Midleton, and Youghal AC, was the recipient of the City Sports award for the month of March. At the Irish Life Health All-Ireland Schools Cross-Country at Santry, despite losing a shoe, Avril produced a marvellous performance to secure the individual bronze medal in a very competitive Intermediate Girls race.


This came after she had easily won the Munster Schools’ over a tough course at Ennis and she was well pleased with both performances: “I was very happy considering I lost a spike in the first one hundred metres at Santry and I really enjoyed the course at Clare and thought it wasn’t as tough as some people found it.”


Her third place in the All-Irelands qualified Avril for the Irish team for the SIAB Schools Cross-Country in Scotland but unfortunately this was cancelled due to the Covid-19 virus. “That was very disappointing, although I went to Scotland earlier in the year for the Celtic International where I finished seventh overall,” said Avril, who has another year in the intermediate grade.
