National League Round 1

Castleisland in Kerry was the venue last Sunday for Round 1 of the National League and WAC was represented in the Mens division this year. Great to see club chairman James Maguire back competing and winning valuable points in the Hammer, 3K walk and 56 lbs weight for distance.

Multi-county sprint champion Brendan Leahy won great points in the 100m and 400m as well as 4x100m and 4x400m relay legs and threw a Javelin to keep himself busy and not have Tom O'Brien say he did more events than anyone else and could only match Brendan with five events in doing Long Jump, High Jump, 400m Hurdles, and the 100m and 400m relay legs. Masters county champion Kieran Leahy ran the 200m and also squeezed in a discus throw between the 200m and 100m relay leg. John Behan and Gary Cantwell guesting for the club represented the vest in style and won valuable points in the 800m, triple jump, 3k steeple chase as well relay legs.

5 weeks to go to round 2 and hopefully those were not able to make round 1 will be available and a great day out for the club will be had either in Athlone or Santry when that is decided.
