The club travelled to Dungloe today (28/11/09) for the first event in the Donegal Sportshall series.  Held in the impressive school hall and hosted by the Rosses club, the event proved a successful one for the Lifford club with several fine performances on the day.

A total of nineteen athletes made the journey into the heart of the Rosses and into Dungloe.  Competing in club colours for the first time were Brandon Connolly and Jenny McGettigan with both athletes making impressive debuts for the club.

All our young athletes in attendance had the opportunity to compete across a range of different events from individual races to two and four person relays.  In the ‘field’ events area, the athletes had the opportunity to compete in speed bounce, standing long jump, standing triple jump, and chest push.  All athletes received personalised score cards which can be used not only to gauge their performances at this time of the season, but to benchmark these against past and future event in the Sportshall series.   Across the board, the club was proud of the individual performances with most athletes benefiting from both the recent cross country competitions and regular attendance at training.

The other Lifford athletes that travelled included Jessica McLaughlin, Conor Lynch, Conor McKinney, Tianna Ward, Megan Hannigan, Nicole Martin, Barry McLaughlin, Kyle McCarron, Zara Russell, Shannon Craig, Sam Wilson, Ciaran McBrearty, Ryan Bradley, Amy Stewart, James Russell, Katie Anderson, and Caitlin Dolan.  Well done to all our young athletes and thanks to both the parents and coaches that travelled to lend their support.
