Our junior athletes travelled to the Finn Valley center on Tuesday evening last to participate in the Donegal Children’s games. We had some people getting placings and medals while other competed well and were content with how they performed. The competition was the first for many of our athletes and gave them some ideas of the events and where they are at as we head towards the Ulster’s in early June. On Saturday we travelled to Lifford to compete in the even and senior championships. Our senior athletes Aidan, Derek and Fiona won their chosen events with some of our younger athletes again returning medals also. With only two weeks left to Ulster’s it is important that all athletes get in an many training sessions as possible.
