19th July 2008 Bedford Track, England

John Shields

This was the most successful day yet by the KitKat Irish Schools’ Track & Field team since these championships began in 1968. Ireland was on the podium for an unprecedented 27 times throughout the afternoon taking home 9 gold, 10 silver and 7 bronze medals. Although England were the eventual winners of the both boys’ and girls’ matches the KitKat Irish Schools’ were closer to them than ever before.

From an Irish point of view the day started well with wins in both hammer competitions. Killian Barry threw 57.95 to hold off a determined challenge from the Welsh boy, Rhys Hodnett. This was followed by an excellent sequence of throws from Gabby McNally to win the girls’ equivalent.

Once again we had good performances from our walkers with Fiona Dennehy walking her way to an impressive victory with Cian McManamon taking a creditable second place in the boys’ event.

A lot was expected from Curtis Woods and he didn’t disappoint. Running a controlled race in the blustery conditions Curtis upped the pace with 200m to go and won the 400m in 48.63. Curtis took third in the 200m and completed his full set of medals with a second place in the sprint relay. Joan Healy was one of those who competed in Poland and here she showed her talent by winning the 100m in 11.95. She also anchored the successful girls 4 x 100 relay team.

The Girls’ Long Jump was rewarding for the Irish as we had a 1, 2. Sally Rose Maughan from Mayo has competed in the shadow of Joanna Mills all year but on Saturday it was Sally’s day with a winning jump of 5.87m. Joanna might have hoped for two firsts but took second also in the 300m. Clare Fitzgerald was another looking for a double but had to be satisfied with a gold and silver. Clare threw 42.88m to win the discus and 12.38m to take second place in the shot.

The 1500m has been good for the Irish over the years and this year Shane Quinn led from start to finish to win with 4.05.72. Tara Jameson was a good second in the 3000m as was Ciaran Dolan in the Long Jump and Darragh Hanlon the Discus.

All in all a very satisfying day for the Irish Schools’ in Bedford.
