Day 2 of the Woodie’s DIY Irish Indoor championships was another exciting day with plenty of talking points for the appreciative attendance. The day opened with Championships Best Performance in the shot by Kieran Kelly of the Fr. Murphy club with a best of 18.20m, and he followed up with a second effort over 18m – 18.09m. Ailis McSweeney has been gradually returning to her best and showed her younger competitors that she has a lot more to offer. However, she said afterwards that none of the finalists were happy with the start, while Guest winner Anyia Onoura from GBR said she didn’t even want to see the result. Peter Coghlan is another making a successful return to competition. In winning the 60m hurdles he clocked 7.80 to set a new Championship Best Performance, after clocking 7.88 in the heat.
