The recently introduced Spring throws, which gives the discus, javelin and hammer enthusiasts an opportunity to gauge their form coming out of a hard winter training period was again held on Sunday at Athlone IT.

Two indications and national medal wins for 2 young throwers from Finn Valley AC, both of them over 50m in their respective events with Dylan Kearns silver in javelin and silver also for Conor Breslin in the hammer.

In the US, Dempsey McGuigan is getting close to 70m in hammer with a 69.47m so that magic 70 mark is there in the months ahead .

This weekend its about throwers once again as John Kelly (pictured) and Gavin McLaughlin attempt to go one-two in the shot at the Irish Universities at CIT on behalf of LYIT.
