Incredible Success For Galway Athletes At National Senior Championships

It was a very successful weekend for Galway Athletes at the National Senior Championships in Dublin, with Craughwell’s Conor Penney and Loughrea’s Darragh Fahy both taking gold on Saturday. Conor took gold in the High Jump while Darragh won gold in the Triple Jump.

There was also silver for Tuam’s Alix Joyce in the Women’s 3,000m Steeplechase, Bronze for Darragh Kelly of Craughwell in the High Jump, while Conor Penney added a bronze to his earlier gold in the men’s 110m Hurdles, while another Craughwell athlete, Lauren Kilduff, won bronze in the Women’s 400m Hurdles. Emma O'Donovan, also from Craughwell, finished 7th in the same race.

Other results of note were Orlaith Mannion of South Galway, who was 4th in the Women’s 100m Hurdles, Liam Shaw 4th in the Discus and Shot Putt, Andrew Egan of Galway City Harriers 4th in the Men's 400m, Padraig Faherty of Galway City Harriers 4th in the men’s 3000m Steeplechase, Cathal Gallagher of Craughwell 5th in the Men's U20 5000m and Jade Moorhead of Craughwell 5th in the Women's High Jump.
