D.S.D. Masters @ AAI Games & League Final
Six DSD Master Athletes competed last Saturday in Abbotstown - 3 in the League Final and 3 in the AAI Games. Special mention to Maria McCambridge and Vigetta Moran, who contributed a total of 9 very valuable points (despite conceding 25 yrs + to virtually all their opponents!) to ensure DSD Women won Silver in the League Final. Ronan Gately competed in the Pole Vault earning 3 points for the Men’s team in the League Final. Adina Gheorghiu, James Sullivan and Shane Sheridan all had very strong performances in their respective sprints (see below). Adina and Shane, will now travel to Braga in Portugal for the European Masters Indoors Championships on 20-27th Feb, together with 5 other DSD Masters Athletes (Avril Dillon, Lucy Moore, Kevin Byrne, Peadar McGing and Ronan Gately). Full list of DSD Masters results as follows: Maria McCambridge W45 800m - 2.25.05 - 3 pts 1500m - 4.46.84 - 2pts Vigetta Moran W45 Weight for Distance - 4.29m - 4 pts Ronan Gately M50 Pole Vault - 2.00m - 3pts Adina Gheorghiu W45 200m - 26.95 (superb time and augurs well for European Masters) James Sullivan M35 60m Series 1 - 8.04 60m Series 2 - 8.03 Shane Sheridan M60 60m Series 1 - 8.19 60m Series 2 - 8.13 (also augurs well for Europeans) (Thanks to Ronan for report)
