February Athlete of the Month: Eamonn Flanagan

Club: Abbey Striders AC

The Cork City Sports Athletic Person Award for the Month of February goes to Eamonn Flanagan (Abbey Striders AC)

At the National Senior Indoor Track & Field Championship all three medalists in the Women's Pole Vault (Clodagh Walsh, Ciara Hickey and Orla Coffey) were coached by Eamonn. This must be a unique occasion. Apart from the undoubted talent of the athletes concerned, this achievement is a testimony to the dedicated coaching skills that Eamonn has brought to the event, and the group of athletes under his tutelage.
