Willie Morris was profiled in the "City Lives" feature of the City Tribune on January 15th last. Unfortunately, I don't believe this article is available online.
The article heading was "Giant of cross country running who was slow out of the traps" with the tag-line: "Bernie Ní Fhlatharta meets Willie Morris, whose competitive running career began in the 30s and ended after he suffered a training injury at the age of 85."
I belive that Jarlath Fitzgerald - the 100-marathon man from Loughrea AC - was profiled in the sports section of the same edition of this newspaper.
I have loked up the indoor results for Connacht but cannot see any results for high jump or relays, have they been omitted or have they yet to take place?
Gary,
I'm delighted for you. It's a long time since you started out as a 15 year old. You have followed your path with great dedication all these years & it shows that hard work & a good smattering of ability & focus will bring you a long way.
5K race-series entries all sold-out within last hour. It took approximately 2 hours to fill-up this year - WOW!
A tribute to all the good work that is being done in terms of promoting running and athletics by the clubs in the county I think, and the Fit4Life programs in particular.
Thanks to all the dedicated volunteers who organised a very successful Connacht Indoors in Nenagh last weekend. The results are published on the club websites as soon as they are available so you can view them there. We have them uploaded here:

Not sure about a centrally maintained web-site or other, but if you jump across to the Craughwell AC web-site, you will see results posted in the embedded link (PDF) in the following article: http://www.craughwellac.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=591&Itemid=78
Is there a Connacht regional board were pepole can access results from indoor and outdoor championships? Results of championships can be viewed from Ulster, Munster and Lenister and even Dublin, surely somone has access to and can post these results within a day or two of the champs.
Well sone Siobhan! I totally agree about the hot shower getting you through a run in the bad weather. It has to be one of the nicest things in the world.
