With Kenya and Jamaica winning 7 golds each at the World Athletics Championship, there was very little movement at the top of the table in Boyle GAA’s Know Your Sport competition. Henri Clifford, Trevor Conroy and Gerry Nerney retain the three top spots but David Galway, Maureen Keenehan and Brendan McDermott are new entrants into the top ten and have put themselves well into contention for the top prizes.

With five events still remaining the competition is still wide open. Check the latest standings below:
