Husband and wife Bridgeen and Patsy Doherty were last night inducted into the Finn Valley AC Hall of Fame.

The Dohertys, from Lurgybrack in Letterkenny, have been an integral part of the furniture at the Millbrae from the 1970s.

Both have a lifelong association with the club as athletes and committee members.

Bridgeen, nee Houston from Ard McCarron, with her sister Susan was involved from day one and has acted in every capacity within the club structure in the interim to this day.

Patsy is a former Donegal senior cross-country champion and a member of numerous winning Donegal and Ulster teams and also a winning national team in the marathon.
