Matthew Martin came 3rd in the javelin on Saturday at the Aviva Schools International in Glasgow, adding 3m to his pb and NDAC U17 record which he did in the corresponding fixture last year in Antrim. Matthew threw 59.64m which may well have prolonged his career with the 700g javelin. His throw was way over the Northern Ireland qualifying standard of 58.00m for the Commonweallth Youth Games (U18), due to be held in the Isle of Man in 2011 (with U17 implements).
Ireland were 2nd to England in the International with Scotland 3rd and Wales 4th.
