Elsewhere Dempsey Mc Guigan a scholarship student at University Of Mississippi in the States got his collegiate outdoor season underway with a fine 66.94,m opener hammer and with brother Fellan continuing to recover from meningitis getting to 62m over weekend we can look forward to improvement in the weeks months ahead.
