Ulster Indoor Track & Field, 21-22 February

Well done to all who took part in the Ulster Track & Field Indoor Championships on the weekend of 21st-22nd February. A total of fifteen Innyvale athletes travelled to the National Indoor Arena in Abbotstown over the two days and there were great performances and personal bests galore as our athletes showed how much they have improved over the last number of months.

On Saturday, we had two relay teams and four individuals in action. First up was Oisin Tully in the U12 boys 600m race. The field was split up over three heats, with Oisin winning his heat in a time of 1min48.27. Unfortunately Oisin’s time was beaten by another athlete in a different heat, but Oisin was nevertheless rewarded with a silver Ulster medal on his first time running on an indoor track.

Next on track for us was Sophie Lynch in the U14 girls 800m race. A very strong finish saw Sophie compete the four lap race in a time of 2min41.47, taking fifth place in her heat and seventh place overall. In the 60m hurdles, Maia Reilly set a new personal best to take seventh place in a time of 11.75seconds. Íosa Lynch was second in her heat before improving her time in the final to finish in fourth place with a time of 10.62seconds. Íosa was also seventh in the long jump with a new personal best of 3.94meters.

The 4x200m relays rounded out Saturday for us, with impressive results for both our teams. In the U14 girls, Íosa Lynch got the team off to a very strong start, with Riley Condon and Sophie Lynch putting in great performances on their laps to keep the team in contention for a medal before Jamie Condon brought the baton home in third place to claim an Ulster bronze medal for the team. And last up on day one was the U16 girls team. Anna Whitney got the race off to a good start for us in fourth place, with Saoirse Lynch taking over on the second lap and running very well before Isabella Condon battled through a shoulder injury to keep us in contention. Aoife Leddy then set off in hot pursuit of third place, a position she took just meters before the finish line to earn the team Ulster bronze medals.

Sunday was a quieter day for us with five athletes taking part. First up was Aoibhinn Farrelly, who doubled up in the sprint events. She was sixth in the 60m race, finishing in a time of 9.77seconds. And better was to come in her first ever hurdles race, were she claimed second in the heat before taking a huge chunk off her time in the final to come home in fourth place in a time of 11.99seconds.

In the U13 boys, Caolan Brady and James Farrelly were sixth and seventh in their heats of the 600m race, completing it in 2min02.17 and 2min05.48 respectively. The two boys also took part in the 60m sprint where they were fairly evenly matched with both claiming sixth place in their heats. Caolan placed 14th overall in 9.62seconds while James was 17th in 9.78seconds, a good improvement on the times they were running last year.

Last up were our two shot putters. In the boys U13 event, Jackson Everett threw the 2kg weight out to 9.63meters to win the gold medal, while in the girls U15s event, Kaitlin Shaw threw the 2.72kg shot a distance of 9.46m to claim an Ulster silver medal.

The All-Ireland Indoor T&F is on 28/29th March and 11th April. We had seven athletes/teams qualify for the All-Irelands:

Oisin Tully U12 boys 600m
Aoibhinn Farrelly U13 girls 60m hurdles

Spring League Gest Underway, 8th February 2026

The 2026 athletics season got underway in Shercock on 8th February lasts with 29 athletes from the club taking part in a variety of sprints, distance races, long jump, javelin and shop putt events as part of the Cavan Spring Development League.

In the Under 9 races, brothers Evan and Ronan Farrelly got the club off to a flying start with third and fifth in the long jump and second and third places in the 60m sprint. Katelyn Denneny was second in the girls 60m race, and followed this up with first place in the long jump. Molly O’Hare was seventh.

The under 10 girls 500m race saw Layla Denneny come home in fourth place, which she improved on later in the morning with third plcae in the turbojavelin, with Taylor McCabe in fifth and Anna Campbell tenth. Sean Lynch was the winner of the boys turbojavelin.

The 60m sprint for U11 girls saw three girls reach the final round, with Jessica Hannan and Saoirse Tully taking first and third in their heat, while Robyn Everett took second place in the other heat. When the final came round, it was Jessica who reached the finish line first, with Saoirse in third place and Robyn in fourth.

The U11 girls featured the largest number of athletes on the day, so margins separating the girls were very tight. In the long jump, our five girls were separated by just 23cm, covering seventh down to thirteenth places, with Robyn McCabe leading the way for the club, followed by Robyn Everett in ninth, Jessica tenth, Saoirse in twelfth and Maisie O’Hare in thirteenth.

Ella Denneny was unlucky to miss out on a medal with two fourth places finishes in the U12 shot putt and a difficult 600m race. In the boys events, Oisin Tully was second in the shot putt, with Oran Campbell (fifth) and Noah Crowe (eighth) close behind in a tight contest. Oisin went on to win the 600m race.

In the U13 javelin there were three medals for Innyvale athletes, with Katie Hannan and Evie Callery-Tracey claiming a one-two finish in the girls event and Jackson Everett finishing second in the boys competition. Caolan Brady was sixth in the long jump, while both he and James Farrelly qualified for the final of the sprint. The girls 80m saw Evie and Katie both winning their heats before a tight battle between the pair saw Evie winning the race with Katie in a very close second place.

In the Under 14 girls, Sophie Lynch pulled away from Íosa Lynch as the approached the finish to claim second place, with Íosa in third in their 800m race. In the shot putt, Riley Condon took the silver medal with Íosa in fourth, Zoe Tully in fifth and Sophie in seventh place.

Kaitlin Shaw was the winner of the javelin, and Brendan Tully was second in this category of the men’s 3000m race.

Well done to all, especially to those competing for the club for the first time. The second round of the Spring League is Sunday 22nd March. Results can be found here and photos at this link.
