Donegal County Athletics will make history this Sunday when they compete in the Inter-County track and field in Tullamore.
This is the first time that the County Board has entered a team in the League and hopes are high.
The team is made up of athletes from Letterkenny, Killybegs, Rosses, Cranford, Milford and Lifford-Strabane athletic clubs.
For many of the athletes, it is their first time to experience this competition and a great opportunity to pitch the county against the other counties in Ireland.
There is experience in the group with the Letterkenny athletes who have previously competed in the Indoor League and Killybegs brothers Dylan and Chris Kearns were both members of the Finn Valley teams in the past.
The team will be managed by Michael Logue, Rosses AC and Bernie O’ Callaghan, Killybegs AC. This is a preliminary round and hopes are high that the team will progress to the finals day on July 20th.
The athletes competing will be Brian Boyce Milford AC, Oisin Gillespie Rosses AC, Caolan McFadden, Michael Moore and Adam Friel Cranford AC, Luke Ward and Brendan O’Donnell Lifford Strabane AC, Dylan Kearns and Chris Kearns Killybegs AC and Joseph Aidoo, Sheldon Romeo, Danny Sharkey, Donal Farren from Letterkenny AC.
