Strong Showing From Innyvale at Spring League




The year started with the Cavan Spring League, a developmental track & field competition held over two days in February and March. While the weather might not have been the best it didnt detract from the event which saw a great showcase of what our athletes are capable of on the track, in the throws and in the long jump, all while having a fun day out.
The event got underway with the masters men, where Etienne Beardmore got Innyvale off to a winning start with gold in the 3000m race. Meanwhile our youngest athlete in action at the event, Sean Lynch, picked up the bronze medal in the Under 9 boys 300m race and he was also fourth in the turbojavelin with a throw of 8.72m and sixth in the long jump event with a longest leap of 1.90m.
We had lots of success in the under 10 events, with Caiden Smith winning the turbojavelin with a best throw of 11.93m. In the girls competition, Maisie O’Hare just pipped Jessica Hannan to the gold with the two girls throwing 10.77m and 10.64m. It was a very tight battle for the bronze medal with four girls throwing very similar distances but it was Saoirse Tully who came out as the third place finisher with a throw of 8.99m.
On track, Robyn Everett emerged from a very tough battle with clubmate Jessica Hannan to win the 500m race, with Jessica in a second, while in the sprint it was the otehr way around as Jessica took the gold medal, with Robyn bringing home bronze. The four girls combined to win the silver medal in the 4x100m relay.
In the U11 boys, Oisin Tully picked up bronze in the long jump with a best effort of 2.87m, but it was on track and in the turbojavelin where he really shone, with gold in the 600m. His best throw of 13.78m in the turbojavelin saw him collect a second gold medal. Navah O’Donoghue’s best throw of 9.18m saw her collect the bronze medal in the turbojavelin event. The boys relay team of Louis Kelly, Caiden Smith, Oisin Tully and Sean Lynch finished their 4x100m race in third place.
The Under 12 girls saw a brilliant performance from Evie Callery Tracey to win the gold medal in the 600m race, with Evie also taking gold in the shot putt, sending the 2kg weight out to 5.48m and gold in the long jump, reaching 2.93m. Evie was third in the 60m sprint, with Katie Hannan taking the silver medal for this event.
In the boys events, Jackson Everett picked up the gold medal, throwing a distance of 7.07m in the shot putt. It was a tight contest behind Jackson with James Farrelly, Caolan Brady and Pio Beardmore setting personal bests and finishing in the top 12. James was second in the 600m race, while in the long jump, it was a one-two finish for the club with Finn taking gold thanks to a leap of 3.50m, with Caolan in second on 3.23m. Caolan also finished third in the 60m sprint. The boys relay team won the gold medal thanks to the efforts of Caolan, James, Finn and Jackson.
Íosa Lynch was the winner of the U13 long jump on a distance of 3.63m, with Jamie Condon in third place thanks to a best effort of 3.04m. Íosa also picked up a bronze medal in the 80m sprint. In the shot putt, Riley Condon threw a distance of 6.41m to take third place, with Maia Reilly and Zoe Tully claiming first and second places in the javelin thanks to throws of 14.39m and 11.19m. Kayla Smith was the third placed athlete in the 600m race. The club fielded two relay teams in this age group, with the quartet of Neasa and Kayla Smith, Riley and Jamie Condon taking second place, while Zoe Tully, Evie Callery Tracey, Katie Hannan and Maia Reilly claimed third place.
In the U14 events, Conor Smith claimed first place in a tight shot putt event with best throw of 6.11m just pipping second and third places to the gold medal, but it was a much bigger margin in the discus where he won with a best of 13.43m. Conor also finished second in both the 80m and 800m, and rounded the event off with bronze in the long jump, leaping 3.03m.
In the girls events, Zoe Hogan was another double winner, with victory in both the 80m and 800m races, while in the field events, she was second in both the shot putt (7.49m) and discus (12.48m). Kaitlin Shaw was the winner of the javelin competition with a best throw of 20.62m. She also won the discus with a throw of 18.83m and there was another gold medal in the shot putt thanks to a throw of 9.59m. Saibhe Mulvey made it a pair of 1-2-3 finishes for Innyvale with third place in the shot putt (6.02m) and the discus (10.25m).
Well done to one and all, whether it was a medal winning performance or not, these competitions are also about challenging yourself to do your best, push your personal best in an event to a higher level, support your friends, team and club all while being active and building friendships.

All Ireland Children's Games, 23 June, Tullamore




Well done to Maisie O'Hare, Saoirse Tully, Robyn Everett, Jessica Hannan and Kaitlin Shaw who took part in the All Ireland Track & Field finals in Tullamore, Co. Offaly over the last couple of weekends.
In the Under 9 age group, Maisie, Saoirse, Robyn and Jessica each put in fantastic performances in their events in the blistering sunshine and draining heat. At this age athletes compete as a pair in national competition, with the times/distances for each athlete added to their teammate to decide the results.
Jessica and Robyn both finished in second place in their heats of the 60m sprint, with their combined times proving good enough to beat all the other pair and take home a pair of All Ireland gold medals. Saoirse and Maisie were fourth in the turbojavelin, extremely unlucky to miss out on a medal with their combined score just 5cm short of the third placed pair, but they did keep their spot as the top team from Ulster. All four girls competed in the 300m, with Jessica taking second place in her heat and Robyn third in the other heat, the pair combining to take the runners up spot and a pair of All Ireland silver medals. Saoirse and Masie were the third placed team from Ulster in the event, and fourteenth overall in a large field. The four girls finished off the day with the relays, where they placed in the top ten teams from the entire country with a ninth place finish.
And in the U13 girls shot putt, Kaitlin made a good improvement on her best at the Ulsters where she took second placeKaitlin’s second round throw of 9.17m was good enough for seventh place in the national finals, retaining her spot as second best from Ulster.
Thank you also to all the parents, guardians and coaches who travelled on the day to support the children
