From starting out with just 8 members, it now boasts 33 athletes with a range of ages and needs. The club’s chosen sport is athletics and the club has already achieved gold, silver and bronze medals at Ulster Level, with seven athletes going forward to represent Team Ulster at the All Ireland Games in Limerick in June. Paul Sweeney, the Head Coach of the club, has had many years coaching experience having most recently travelled as part of Team Ireland to Athens for the last World Games. He has also been selected as Head Coach for Team Ireland at the forthcoming European Games in Belgium in September.
