Delighted that Eamon Fitzgerald was awarded Honorary LIfe Membership of Scottish Athletics at their AGM on Saturday (30th Sept).
This is richly deserved and long overdue. Primarily interested in Field Events , Eamon has been one of the few stalwarts of Pole Vaulting in Scotland. Following his own excellent competitive career , he has played a major part in coaching , developing and promoting the event in this country , without a great deal of support and despite his own health issues..
Pole Vault is generally recognised as one of the three most technically challenging athletic events ( hammer & triple jump are the others) which requires a great deal of committment and persistance over many years to develop athletes for quality competition..
Pitreavie are fortunate to have such a high level performance coach in the Club. Well done Eamon and thanks for giving so much to Athletics,
.
