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.
