C R U spells Intervarsity Success

The National Intervaristy Outdoors was held in Irishtown Stadium at the weekend. The stadium proved popular among the students who enjoyed viewing the action from the floor to ceilling windows on the second floor when the weather was at its worst. The competition ran smoothly, proving the facilities that are in place worthy. The atmosphere was one of the best experienced in recent years, thanks in part to the spectator friendly spaces).

Not only can Crusaders be proud of how the facilities that they call their own performed but also of how their fellow athletes performed. The senior mens team was extraordinarily well represented as usual with a high concentration on the UCD team who followed up their Indoor Mens T&F title with the Outdoor Mens T&F Title. Not since Brian Liddy, Eugene O'Neill, Peter Madsen, Greg Scanlon, Robert Hume, George Eyres and Niall Kane togged out for Trinity has the University Of Limerick mens team been beaten in this competition.
