Mark English takes 800m gold in Athlone

Mark English is taking some decent form into the upcoming European Championships after winning the 800-metre race at the Irish National Indoor Championships in Athlone.

The European bronze medallist enjoyed victory in a tactical race to come home in 1min 51.34secs just ahead of Declan Murray, who also qualified for the upcoming Prague championships.

Dara Kervick is another who booked his place at the European event after running a fine 46.53secs in the 400 metres, which moves the Clonliffe Harrier to fifth on the Irish all-time list.

Long-jumper Adam McMullen from Belfast also qualifies for the Czech championships after leaping to the exact qualifying standard of 7.80m, which was a 19cm improvement on his previous best.

Paul Pollock also impressed, taking victory in the 3000m in a time of 8:09.81 to secure his place on the Ireland team for the Europeans, while John Travers will also travel after taking the 1500m in a time of 3:49.93.

Travers put in a smooth and impressive performance at the Athlone arena in what his is second event, as he prefers the 3000m.

Carrick-on-Shannon's Gerard O'Donnell took gold in the 60m hurdles in 8.32secs to book his place at the Europeans, while Ciara Everard won the women's 800m in 2:06.64 and will be confident of making the final of the Europeans, as she did in Gothenburg two years ago.
