Athlone to host National athletics indoor league finals

The AAI National Indoor League Final takes place this Saturday at the TUS International Arena in Athlone, where Dundrum South Dublin and Clonliffe Harriers will look to defend their respective indoor titles.

Both clubs once again boast strong line-ups, but there will be no shortage of likely challengers on the day.

Clonliffe Harriers dominated last year’s indoor league final, finishing 16 points clear of their nearest rivals in Leevale and Nenagh Olympic. The Dubliners have looked strong once again in qualifying and a team stacked team with league winning experience is sure to see them the likely favourites.

In the women's event, DSD will look to retain their indoor league title come Saturday afternoon and their recent opening round showings have done little to play down their chances.

Action in Athlone gets up and running from 11am.
