Valley Athletes Join Celebrations in Birmingham

The nature of athletics is that when an Irish athlete achieves at international level all Irish followers of the sport have an extra spring in their step and nowhere was that more evident than last Saturday when David Gillick blitzed the field to win the European 400 title.

Joining in the celebrations at Jury's Inn were 40 odd Valley supporters smiles and camera shots all round getting that once in a lifetime opportunity to experience such an occasion at the sharp end.

They enjoyed the visit to watch the greatest athletes in Europe and hopefully dream one day that they will be in an arena such as this.

Thanks to Kieran Carlin for his work on this trip and great to see Grainne and Darren O'Dea, Richard Simms and Marian and Gerry O'Doherty, Margaret and Eimear. A truly memorable weekend.

Finn Valley is the Venue for the Ulster Coaching day on Sunday all events covered starting at 10.00am for registration.
