Tyrone's Nick Griggs adds to Ireland's medal haul at the European U-23 Championships

On Friday, Anika Thompson struck gold for Ireland over 10,000m and Nicola Tuthill added silver in the hammer throw and now Griggs has added to the medal haul. Having won silver and gold at European U-20 level in the past, Griggs was a marked man as he lined up for the 5000m final and he took the pace out from the gun, passing 3000m in 8:28. After missing several months of training earlier in the year due to an infection in his knee, Griggs' bounced back to form in impressive fashion last month with a 3:55 mile in Belfast before lowering the Irish U-23 record to 3:52.42 in Dublin last week. In Bergen, he wanted to make it a stern test for his rivals and he delivered an impressive performance. 'We walked out the first few hundred so I was like, 'let me just take this out,'' he said. 'I was risking losing the medal to go and get to win, but I wanted to do that.' Griggs was the fastest Irish U-20 athlete in history at 1500m, the mile, 3000m and 5000m and he currently holds all the Irish U-23 records over the same distances. While he built a short lead early in the 5000m final, his rivals were keen not to give too much leeway, with the overwhelming favourite, Dutch star Niels Laros, towing them back to catch Griggs. Laros recently ran a 3:45 mile to win at the Eugene Diamond League and with wheels like that, the gold was all but secured once he took the lead with a lap to run, winding the pace up and unleashing a 12.1-second last 100m to win in 13:44.74. Griggs utilised his vast range of gears to hold off a large chasing pack to take silver, with Will Barnicoat – who had beaten Griggs to U-23 gold at the European Cross Country last December – taking bronze with 13:46.11.

Ireland U20s avoid last-placed finish at World Championship with late try against Spain

Ireland U20s 38 Spain U20s 37 IRELAND U20S SEALED a late win over Spain to avoid the embarrassment of a last-placed finish at the World U20 Rugby Championship in Calvisano. Henry Walker's 78th-minute try — the hooker's second of the game — ensured that Ireland finished second from bottom of the standings, albeit relegation was never on the line with the tournament set to be expanded to 16 teams next year. Ireland took an early 14-0 lead against the Spaniards, with centre Jonny Scott opening the scoring off a lineout penalty and Charlie Molony adding Ireland's second try off a scrum attack. Both scores were converted by Tom Wood. Spain opened their account through the boot of Nicolas Infer on 10 minutes before Pau Massoni scored their first try, unconverted, for 14-8 before the quarter-hour mark. Advertisement Daniel Green's unconverted try on 20 minutes pushed Ireland out to 19-8 and when Scott crossed again seven minutes from the break, with Wood adding the afters, Neil Doak's side led 26-8. But loosehead Alberto Gomez responded for the Spanish, with Infer converting for 26-15 moments before half-time. An Infer penalty reduced the arrears further shortly after the restart and when Marcel Carreras dotted down for a seven-pointer three minutes later, Spain had moved to within a point. Ireland hooker Walker then scored from a lineout maul on 48 minutes, with Munster out-half Wood extending Ireland's lead back out to two scores at 33-25. A yellow for the try-scorer, though, saw Spain turn the contest on its head with back row Victor Ofojetu and Toulouse 10 Lucien Richardis scoring tries in quick succession to either side of the hour mark, the latter of which was converted by Gonzalo Otamendi for a 37-33 Spanish lead. With a quarter of an hour remaining, however, loosehead Dani Chico received a straight red for a high hit, and Ireland pushed to avoid a humiliating loss. Wood had a try disallowed on 73 minutes for a knock-on in the lead-up by double try-scorer Scott, but Ulster man Walker spared Ireland's blushes as he scored from a lineout drive in the right-hand corner with just over two minutes remaining. After a string of strong Six Nations campaigns as well as final and semi-final berths at the last two World Championships, Ireland have endured a poor season under Neil Doak and his coaching team, finishing last in the Six Nations and narrowly avoiding the same fate in Italy on Saturday.

Nick Griggs wins Ireland's third medal at European U-23 Championships

Nick Griggs has won a third medal for Ireland at the European U-23 Championships in Bergen, Norway, the 20-year-old Tyrone athlete claiming silver over 5000m on Saturday evening in 13:45.80. On Friday, Anika Thompson struck gold for Ireland over 10,000m and Nicola Tuthill added silver in the hammer throw. Having won silver and gold at European U-20 level in the past, Griggs was a marked man as he lined up for the 5000m final and he took the pace out from the gun, passing 3000m in 8:28.

'I've got mixed feelings,' said Griggs. 'After the year I had, to come out and get silver is not bad. I've only been doing sessions for probably two months. "I'm still early in my season, and hopefully there's a lot more to come in August and September.'
