Brian Thursby was the club's sole representative in Sunday's London Marathon which had over 36,000 finishers. Brian's decision to travel certainly paid off as he posted a personal best time of 2:36:10.

The club extends its sympathy to the family of Nuala McGinley, Glencar Scotch, Letterkenny. Nuala passed away following a short illness last week in Letterkenny General Hospital. Nuala and the McGinley family have had a long association with the club and she was a hugely respected member of the community. May she rest in peace.
