THERE WERE MIXED fortunes for Irish athletes at the World U20 Championships in Peru today.
Elizabeth Ndudi secured her place in the women’s long jump final tomorrow night after a 5.95m finish.
After an anxious wait for the results of the remaining two heats, Tallaght AC’s Sean Aigboboh qualified for the men’s 100m semi-final as the fastest non-automatic qualifier.
His time of 10.55 was enough to finish third in his heat.
However, it was not to be for the mixed 4×400 relay team who missed out on a place in tonight’s final.
Conor Kelly, Daisy Walker, Sean Doggett and Niamh Murray had to settle for fourth in their heat in 3:26.40.
urgh playing soccer on astro is bad but rugby just sounds painful
There is an one in UCD- it’s not too bad to play on. It’s not the same as a soccer pitch.
I have played on the ucd one and the one in clontarf they are ok, no real problems, scrummaging was ok too
the back pitch at Lansdowne (Aviva) is artificial too is it not?
Just worth mentioning that Eoin Sheriff (pictured) is a product of the Leinster Academy.
For all the chat re the surface, 15k sounds a bit small for a hc qf…
Saracens don’t want their own supporters to be outdone by the Ulster fans. If they use Wembley or Twickers, then a higher percentage of the tickets will end up in Ulster hands. 15k is the minimum capacity for a H Cup QF
Harlequins did exact the same !
