North Down AC’s men’s and women’s team battled it out in the AAI National Track & Field League Final at Tullamore on Sunday, placing a very respectable 4th and 5th – respectively – in the premier divisions. DSD took the womens premier team title, while Leevale took the mens premier league. Weather for the earlier events was very wet and breezy – making technical events that bit more tricky- but at least the rain stopped around 1pm. The their credit, the Women’s team put out their biggest ever squad of 14 athletes and were rewarded with the club’s highest ever placing in the women’s league. The Men suffered a few late drops-outs so had to revert to plan B to cover 19 of 21 events – but still did very well to finish 4th overall in the very competitive final. Star performer for the women’s team was Kathy Hetherington with a double win in shot and discus. For the men, wins came late in the afternoon with Mathew Stockton taking the Javelin and the 4×400 squad (Woods to McComb to Saulters to Mellon) sealing victory in the last event of the day. Big thanks to all those athletes, coaches, suporters, parents and relatives who competed, helped, fed! and supported the teams through the rounds and final.
