Munster Junior, Senior & Masters Indoor Track & Field Championships
Nenagh Indoor Stadium was a hive of activity on Sunday when the Munster Junior, Senior & Masters Indoor Track and Field Championships took place. Entries were up on previous years, but our 25 competing athletes did not let that phase them as they produced some stunning performances including Munster Championship Best Performances and Personal Bests over the various distances from sprints to middle distance. Medals of all colours were won by our youngest to oldest but as full details of these excellent results were not to hand at time of posting, we will update site as soon as they become available.
