SECOND NORTH WEST INDOOR GAMES
The second North West Indoor Games was held in the Indoor Arena in Athlone Institute of Technology last weekend and attracted five hundred competitors from forty seven clubs in twenty two counties and the standard of competition was correspondingly high. Among the competitors were members of the AAI Elite Middle Distance Squad who were looking for qualifying times and Rose Finnegan of Bohermeen achieved her target of 2.09.66 in the 800m. Another athlete who achieved her target was Eilish Flanagan of Omagh Harriers who is home on Holidays from the USA where she is on an athletic scholarship with her twin sister Roisin. Eilish required a sub 10 minute time in the 3,000m to allow her compete in a higher grade of Varsity Competition in the U.S.A, and she duly ran 9.58.97.
There were also many outstanding performances from a Donegal point of view with Joseph Gillespie Finn Valley having a great double in the U/14 boys long and High Jump, Michaela Byrne, also Finn Valley also had double victories in the Long and High Jumps while Patrick Galvin had a double also in the senior Long and High Jumps. Martin O’ Donnell, Olympian YAC had a good double in the Masters 60m and 200m while his sister Karen was an impressive winner in the Master 400m,
