European Athletics Appointments

While Pierce O’Callaghan acted as Deputy Chief Judge at the Beijing Olympics, two other Irish officials were involved with the European Athletics Association at their events during the track and field season.

Such was the excellence of their contributions that they have now been invited to officiate at EAA events next season.

AAI President Liam Hennessy will act as Chairman of the Jury of Appeal at the European Cup Combined Events First League in Zaragosa/ESP 27-28 June 2009.

John Cronin will sit on the Jury of Appeal at the SPAR European Athletics Team Championships in Leiria/POR 20-21 June 2009.

He has also been invited to act as ITO/ATO (International / Area Technical Official) at the European Athletics Junior Championships in Novi-Sad/SRB 23-26 July 2009.

Athletics Ireland congratulates both on their appointments.
