Correction
In the report last week on the National Senior Championships in
Santry Sean Archer Ferrybank was listed as being fourth in the triple
jump but he was in fact third just as in 2013 and 2012. Sean had his
best result of the series in the final effort with 13.73 metres to
take the bronze medal.-mea culpa.
