Coscoran breaks Irish 1,500m record after impressive run in Nice

Nick Griggs was also in action and broke the Irish U20 record.

ANDREW COSCORAN HAS broken the national record for the 1,500m after an impressive performance at the Meeting Nikaia in Nice.

Coscoran clocked an excellent time of 3:32.68 to clinch the win and also break Ray Flynn’s record of 3:33.5 which he set in Oslo in 1982. The Dubliner was in second place coming into the final bend of the race before surging through the gears to overtake New Zealand’s Samuel Tanner while also holding off Niels Laros of the Netherlands.

Tyrone’s Nick Griggs was also running in the 1,500m in Nice, where he ran a superb 3:36.09 to finish ninth and break the Irish U20 record set by Cian McPhillips which was 3:40.56.

    Nothing too spectacular about it, but Miller is a quality technically gifted player, pity he didn’t stay in cork for what could be a special year

    It’s nice to see him still make a living out of football

    Liam Miller never done too much while playing for Cork City.
    I always got the impression that he had the attitude that he was too good to be playing for City.
    Glad to see the back of him.

    He was consistently technically superior to most around him though

    He had a good season at Sunderland under Roy keane. The start was a disaster and it looked like Sunderland would get relegated. Then keano arrived and sensationally they won the league. What a season that was. They really did come back from the brink.

    If he had have stayed at Celtic for a year or two develop a bit more he could have been real quality. Cant blame him for moving when he did though.

    I’m sorry but Miller added noting to the City team, always passed sideways or backwards and never looked to get forward, was not sorry to see him leave
