Following DJ Dempsey's win in the Men's Novice race last week, James Boland claimed the County Intermediate title in Coolgreaney with a dominant performance. John Hickey followed him home to take silver, adding another runner-up finish to his second place in the Novice race last week.

The eight-lap course was hilly and challenging, but conditions underfoot were reasonable. Both men handled the tough circuit well to secure a great result for the club.

Congratulations to hosts Croghan AC, who took home the Billy Cashin Cup after winning the Men's Team competition. The cup was presented to the winning team by Eugene and Bernie Cashin.

Juvenile report to follow in a separate post.

Daniel Redmond took an impressive bronze at the combined event last Wednesday. It was a tight competition with points across the day, with 21 competitors in the Senior Boys U18.

Daniel finished with 3,434 points, only 90 points between him and 4th! It was a nail biting final event of 800m to keep the medal position!

Daniel represented the Good Counsel New Ross.

A brilliant week for Daniel, with the announcement of Daniel as the Wexford Athletics "June Athlete of the Month" only days earlier. 👏👏👏

We’re delighted to see our own Daniel Redmond recognised as Wexford Athletics Athlete of the Month for June.

Daniel has been putting in some fantastic performances, and it’s great to see his hard work and talent recognised with this award 👏.

Congratulations to Daniel Redmond, our Athlete of the Month for June.

Representing Leinster at the Tailteann Games Inter-Provincial Championships, Daniel produced a superb performance in the Inter Boys’ Long Jump, jumping a massive personal best of 6.68m to take gold.

The outstanding jump also earned Daniel selection to represent Ireland at the SIAB Internationals in July, where he competed against teams from England, Scotland and Wales.

A fantastic achievement for Daniel and a well-deserved recognition of his performance.

Well done Daniel!
