A DONEGAL athlete has won a top award at National University of Ireland, Galway.

Bridget McDyer of Finn Valley was the NUIG Club Captain of the Year for the 2019/20 campaign.

Through the leadership of McDyer, the NUIG Athletics Club also won the NUIG Club of the Year award.

The award was presented by four-time Irish Olympic Team Manager Patsy McGonagle.

McDyer has just finished three years studying at NUIG and is moving on to undertake a Masters in International Policy and Diplomacy in Cork.

The Rosses woman, who competes regularly in the shot put, holds the Donegal record in weight for distance.

A former student at Rosses Community School, her involvement through various Donegal and club groups has continued to reap rewards.
