Small but eager crowd at the 4pm Toddler De-Energiser class today! Who says you need expensive equipment to strength train?! Small legs and a big heart is all that’s needed! #pushingthrough #toddlerlife

[Derek Malone PLY @DerekMalone]

Two fantastic days of performances… congrats Kate.

[Cathal Dennehy @Cathal_Dennehy]

She will always be the first.

History is now in Kate O’Connor’s hands – a superb, shining silver medal proudly draped around her neck. And it’s hers forever.

A fantastic effort in a great race.

[Cathal Dennehy @Cathal_Dennehy]

He had done all he could. But on a stage this grand, sometimes that’s simply not enough.

Piece on Cian McPhillips' incredible effort in tonight's 800m final - and why going with that hot pace up front would likely have backfired.

@Cathal_Dennehy A wonderful tribute to your Dad Cathal.. you captured the essence of many Irish father - son relationships anchored in critical sporting reviews often starting with - Did you see the match?!! May he rest in peace. Condolences to you and your family.

⁦@IrlEmbPretoria⁩ ⁦@bus_ire_sa⁩ ⁦@dfatirl⁩ surely a more nuanced approach could be used here eg. visa waivers for people with travel history btwn Ireland & SA prior to the visa requirement introduction instead of this iron fist approach? https://t.co/fSPAYtELGF

[Derek Malone PLY @DerekMalone]

@Cathal_Dennehy Yep lots of talent here Cathal… it’s just the challenge of providing enough sporting opportunities for kids to reach their full potential & encourage them to stay in love with sport and away from life’s potholes.

@GaryJohnRyan @TipperaryGAA @GaaClare The right choice… Up the Banner

[Derek Malone PLY @DerekMalone]

@GaryJohnRyan @Cathal_Dennehy Gosh that is a horrible way to be DQed from a major championships…. You would see more jostling for position in an Aldi queue for the checkouts!!
