| SPRINTS AND THROWS MEET - AND 3K
The weather was ideal at Mary Peters on Wednesday evening for the sprints and throws meeting but continuing problems with the photofinish are causing frustration to athletes chasing qualification standards. In a rare appearance at 100m, Hannah Lewis sent some men home unhappy by winning a mixed race in a pb of 12.3 sec. Mark Patterson ran 50.9 sec at 400m taking him second only to Roger Sexton on the club U20 all time list with Jordan Stokes and Thomas Simpson also having pbs at 400m. There were discus pbs for Gemma McAnirn and Peter Glass who for the first time registered throws over 30m and 40m respectively. Both threw well at both shot and discus as did Jeremy Harper and new recruit Kathy Hetherington while another recruit Chris Summers threw the hammer. A 3000m race was also included with Francis Marsh taking his club veteran record down to 8:57.9 min, Brian Barron also featuring. Results now available.

| YAL ROUND 2, DERRY
 Round 2 of the Young Athletes League was a lot further away but North Down had a much better turnout with a full coachload in Derry. There was still only Kayleigh Walsh and Niall McGrattan in the U13 age groups but the other age groups were covered. U17 boys and girls both won their matches and U15 boys and girls were 2nd and 3rd respectively moving the club up to 4th overall. There is only one more qualifying match but as it is in Bangor on a Tuesday evening in June, a full turnout is virtually assured along with a place in the final. Full marks to all the U17"s who had done the Schools Districts the previous day and had a full programme to contend with but they all coped well. MOREWednesday, May 07, 2008 | |
