Conor Leaney completed an outstanding four days at the Irish youth and senior championships yesterday when he helped City of Belfast to a new Irish senior record.

Along with Ian Chisholm, Conor Shevlin and Gavin Williamson, Leaney set a new Irish best of 7:54.84 for the 4x200m relay — two seconds quicker than the previous record.

On Saturday night Leaney also set a new Irish junior record for the 50m freestyle of 23.58, a tenth quicker than his old record.

“I shocked myself with the PB in the 100m butterfly and I just feel very, very strong in the water,” said Leaney.

“My City of Belfast coach Peter Hill is also a fitness instructor and it’s clear that the work in the gym has paid off.

“I feel that having made semis at the World Youth Championships recently in Mexico without being rested that I can make a final in the European juniors.”
