One of the best performances was from Brian Gregan of Clonliffe Harriers who ran the 400 metres in a time of 46:07, breaking his previous best time of 46.66 which he set in Ghent, Belgium in February of 2012. This now makes his the third fastest Irish man over the distance, moving up two places from fifth. The current Irish indoor 400m record was set by David Gillick in a time of 45.52. Considering that Brian is still only 23 years old, you'd have to wonder if it's only a matter of time before he breaks it?

As if to verify just how fast this new mondo indoor track is, Thomas Barr of Ferrybank AC in second place also set a new personal time of 47.46 seconds.
In the women's 800m, there was plenty of drama with two contestants crashing to the ground within metres of the line in what was a very closely contested finish...
