Two Valley officials on AAI board

Valley club chairman Patsy Mc Gonagle was elected to the chair of High Performance at the AAI agm at the weekend. He beat Dublin candidate Dermot Nagle by 170 to 40 votes; he was returned unopposed as vice president.

It was also a successful meeting for Neil Martin who was installed as the Ulster representative on the board. Neil had held this position on the outgoing board. The third Donegal man is newcomer Brendan Mc Daid from Letterkenny who is the new head of competition, replacing long serving Milford man Paddy Marley.

This weekend its the North West 10k and after that it's a busy schedule of schools competitions.

Sympathy is extended to Jonathan Campbell whose mother Daisy died and was buried on Friday. Also to Brid Mc Menamin whose father Hugh died during the week. May they rest in peace.
