What an exciting Munster Indoor Championships it was for St. Brendan's A.C. athletes!
First up on Saturday was Aoibhinn O'Driscoll at the U9-U11 Juveniles. She came through the heats & semis ahead of her competitors. The final was a very exciting & competitive race with Aoibhinn tying for first place on the line. Aoibhinn placed third in the long jump after count back. Not a bad result to come away with at her first Munster Indoors!
Not to be outdone the Masters came out in flying form on Sunday. Between six of them (5 males & 1 female) they brought home 19 medals, all of them now Munster medalists across different events.
David Kissane (O65) was in action on Saturday where he won gold in the 3K race walk. He kept that competitive spirit in action on Sunday, where he became Munster champion again in the 200m. Then he achieved a double silver in the 400m & shot putt.
