POSTPONED from its usual April date, the East Cork Athletics Division Championships took place with a somewhat reduced programme at the Coláiste an Chroí Naofa grounds at Carriag na bhFear.

A huge effort was put in by the local club and despite the restrictions the two-day affair went off like clockwork with many fine performances recorded.

Following in the footsteps of his father Liam, winner of multiple East Cork titles over the years, Midleton athlete Frank O’Brien had a fine treble over the two evenings with senior victories at 600m, 1500m and 3000m.
