NI Masters’ Track and Field Championships

The Northern Ireland Masters’ Track and Field championships will take place at the Mary Peters’ Track on Saturday, with considerable Orangegrove interest.

Grateful thanks to the indomitable Sharon McFarland for organising our entries, a spreadsheet nightmare, and to the Club for supporting participation by members. Personal bests were achieved, medals won and good fun was had by all. If you didn’t take away a medal from the Mary Peters’ Track you at least added to your tan, or to your sunburn in my case. We are very grateful to all at the Northern Ireland Masters’ Athletic Association who worked so hard to provide us with a great meeting in absolutely perfect conditions.
