MINOR COUNTY LEAGUE FIXTURES
SARAH LEAHY STRIKES AGAIN
It’s not everyone that can say there’s only one person in the entire country quicker than them over 200 metres. Or that they have run the 14th fastest time Irish ever at 60 metres. All that and winning two medals to boot, Sarah Leahy had a golden weekend at the AAI National Indoor games at Abbotstown. Her run of 7.39 seconds over the shorter distance has her ranked as No.3 in the country while European Medal winner Rhasidat Adeleke is the only one faster over 200 metres, with Sarah’s winning time of 24.03 recorded as the 12th fastest on the Irish all time list. Now all roads lead to the prestigious National Senior Indoors and with Sarah in flying form who knows what possible. One thing for sure there’s nobody in Direen backing against her.
SIGERSON CUP
The final of the Sigerson Cup was played during the week in Carlow and it saw NUIG come out on top against a David Clifford led UL. It was a 23rd title for the University, formerly known as UCG, and the Club has of course got history with previous triumphs. John Trant (formerly Sewells Pharmacy) picked up 2 wins in 1948 and 1950 while Donie Murphy, formerly of Mill Road, was also part of the 1948 victory. A noteworthy winner in that time also was Dr Mick Loftus from Mayo, who of course went on to serve as GAA President from 1985 to 1988.
