I'm only really speaking of the mens events here, but between john o'connor of crusaders group and jerry kiernan and peter mcdermots group, there appears to be a wealth of young talent…

I'm only really speaking of the mens events here, but between john o'connor of crusaders group and jerry kiernan and peter mcdermots group, there appears to be a wealth of young talent in the dublin area in particular, posting serious times and producing some very exciting races. you may well all disagree with me, but are these coaches doing something different? And strictly speaking of md track events, has the standards outside dublin perhaps declined somewhat. Im not having a go, just observing... perhaps with limited scope!
