Local track and field coaches say it will be a tough assignment to adequately prepare athletes for the April 24 start of the new season.
In fact, national coach Alwyn Babb believes there will be a decline in the number of competitors for the first two meets at the
Usain Bolt Sports Complex.
“I think the numbers will be reduced somewhat because of preparation time. Some athletes have had the opportunity to stay as fit as possible but in terms of organised training we were unable to do that. Hopefully after the third event we will see some improved performances leading to qualification for regional meets,” Babb told
Incoming GAA President Larry McCarthy stressed the importance of open competition in the arena of TV rights but his priority now is to get games played and generate matchday income.

Brian Dooher (L) and Feargal Logan have taken over the Tyrone senior footballers
Incoming Tyrone joint-manager Feargal Logan has paid tribute to his predecessor Mickey Harte s outstanding record and said the county had a decent crop of players coming through from the underage ranks.
Logan, a midfielder on the Tyrone team which lost the 1995 All-Ireland final to Dublin in contentious circumstances, was appointed as joint-manager alongside Brian Dooher back in November.
They face a daunting challenge in replacing Harte, who was at the helm in Tyrone for 18 championship seasons, leading the county to all three of its All-Ireland titles during a wildly successful period in the noughties.
