Martin and sister Karen with the medal haul.

A Donegal athlete and his sister have picked up an incredible haul of nine medals at the Northern Ireland Masters Championships.

Martin O’Donnell, who is from Glenswilly (via Derry!) and an engineer with Donegal County Council, is no stranger to the track.

And Martin and his sister Karen were once again in terrific form at the Mary Peters Track in Belfast on Saturday last.

The duo took home nine medals for Olympian Youth & Athletic Club on the day.

Karen won 100m, 200m & Javelin and got silver in 400m in V1 women’s category.

Martin snatched 2 golds in 100m in SB of 12.3sec & 200m in SB of 25.2sec and got 3 silvers in Shot Putt, Discus & 56lb weight throw in V2 Mens category.

But it’s back to work for Martin again this week and his colleagues certainly won’t let it go to his head!
