Youth Nations Cup 2019 (3rd August)

International debut for Eoin Quinn

A terrific past twelve months in which he has emerged as one of the most improved young athletes in the Country culminated for Eoin Quinn on Saturday 3rd August when he made his International debut at the Youth Nations Cup in Santry, a new event for the best u/18 athletes from Ireland and England. Winning the All-Ireland title recently saw Eoin selected for the 800m where he competed with great determination to finish fourth in a very fast race. He followed this up with the 4x400m Relay where he ran the third leg, taking the baton in fourth place and showing his customary great turn of pace pulled his team back into second place, though the team eventually finished in fourth place.

Earlier in the day, Oisin Lane and Matthew Glennon dominated in the 3,000m Race Walk and as befits their pre-race tags as the clear favourites came home first and second respectively to earn maximum points for Ireland in the team competition.

Congratulations to our International trio and now that Eoin has run for Ireland, his name will be added to the International Roll of Honour in the Clubhouse, the one hundred and eighth name on the roll so far.
