At the Tailteann Inter-Provincial Track and Field Games in Tullamore on Saturday 27th June, Shane Fitzsimons had an amazing run in the 1,500m winning in a great time of 4 minutes 2 seconds. This is an unbelievable time for a 14 year old, and the gap at the finish was huge, all the more amazing as he was giving away two years to the entire field having received a late call-up to compete in the Intermediate race.

Also in the same race, Thomas Fagan had a fine run, having run a fast 800m just one hour previously.
