Mark English finished third in a competitive 800m at last night’s Cork City Sports. At 600m, English looked in control of the race but he then ran out of steam. Still, assuming he is not injured or ill, it was useful blow-out for the UCD man before heading for the European Under 23s, starting tomorrow. Finishing fourh was American-based Declan Murra while in fifth place, Niall Tuohy ran a personal best 1:48.09.

After the 5000m walk, Rob Heffernan pronounced himself happy with this third fastest time over the distance . The top two finishers broke 19 minutes in a classy exhibition of race walking. Heffernan finished Alex Wright who was leading at the bell, finished third. In the women’s 3000m, Mary Cullen showed promising form although she faded in the later stages of a stage won in commanding style by the American Abby D’Agostino. Further goods news was a time of 9:19.34 from Michelle Finn – a half minute inside her previous best.
In a men’s 3000m stacked with Americans and Australians, Ennis junior Kevin Mulcaire ran a time of 8:20.79. There was also an emcouraging victory for Raheny’s Cillian Kirwan in the junior 1500m.
