The Munster Senior and Master Indoor Championships took place in Nenagh on Sunday with an outstanding performance from David Kenny (Farranfore Maine Valley) getting the day off to a fabulous start. Kenny won the 5km race walk in a new national record time of 18 minutes 42 seconds, breaking Rob Heffernan’s old record. This was quite a performance as the European 5k outdoor record is 19 minutes.
