The fantastic weather helped a number of Shettleston athletes record PB performances at GAA Meeting at Crownpoint on Friday night. The track looked fantastic with our club infrastructure – tent /photo finish and helpers making sure the meeting went like clockwork. With 5 out of the 6 Shettleston athletes recording Personal Best performances and a Season Best for the other athlete, we can certainly say it was a successful night and a club record for Lynn McKenna.
