It may have been Donegal all the way today at Valley Leisure Centre with the North Western County winning all four team titles but Amy Foster won a trip to the UK Finals on Sunday 18th April at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham. Amy won the U15 girls all-rounder title and will travel as an individual with the Donegal teams as will the boys U15 winner, David McAuley of East Down AC.
Amy was one of a sprinkling of talented North Down AC girls competing for either Down or Belfast East depending on their school location.
