Nenagh Triathlon Club successfully hosted the annual Lough Derg Sprint event in Dromineer on Saturday.

This was the fifth year the event has been organised and once again it attracted a big number of spectators and competitors, with 130 triathletes taking part in what were blustery conditions, making it a testing event for all.

There was a one-two for Limerick as their triathlon clubs Colm Turner and Ronan Costelloe were the first two home, with Turner completing the swim, cycle and run in 1 hour 1 min and 30 seconds while Ger Bowen completed the podium.

Ennis TC's Ella Doherty was the first female home with the teenager completing the course in 1 hour, 7 mins and 1 second. Esther Baydon (Pulse TC) was second with Murna Griffin O'Malley from Limerick completing the podium.
