I think this deserves it own thread.

Best field of athletes to come to Dublin in around 20 years!!

Gonna be a great night in Santry, if your around come along.

Absolutely great line up alright definitely one of the best line ups to hit these shores (though Cork this year was pretty damn good to)

Working on changing work around to get to this

I was reading about this the other day. Programme strats at 1630 hrs? The main programme just after 1900 hrs I think. Wil do my best to get to this one.

Some early results from Morton:

Thomas Barr 400mH: 3rd: 50.45 behind Nathan Woodward (GB) in 49.49.

Steven Colvert: 100m: 3rd: 10.57, Anderson is the winner in 10.26.

Brian Gregan with a great win in the 400m in 45.60, ahead of Nick Symmonds (48.69)

Lots of new Stadium records, but a very impressive one set in the men's 3000m by Ben True in 7.44.40.

An Taoiseach Enda Kenny is the crowd! He's building up his athletics knowledge before he makes his Olympic debut

New world lead (2012) set in the women's mile by Nicole Schappert (USA) in 4.30. She's ran 4.06 for 1500m this year.

10 men under 4 minutes for the men's equivalent. David Torrence (USA) is the winner in 3.56. Result was extremely close!!

Great evening of entertainment for just €5. Really enjoyed it.
Some of the women's 800m runners are seriously hot. Look out for Melissa Bishop of Canada in the Olympics

clear thinking

About 2,000 in attendance and a good night of athletics. Hopefully Clonliffe and the various partners and sponsors can build on this again next year.
