Highlights of the 2015 Irish Senior Track & Field Championships

The Irish Senior Track & Field Championships were held in Santry, Dublin last weekend on Sat 8th and Sun 9th August. Despite it being one of the main highlight on the athletics calendar for the year, some of the numbers taking part in some events were very poor, especially the hurdles.
