John Dwyer will defend hammer throwing title in Tullamore

After his double gold medal winning performances at the World Masters Championships last month, John Dwyer of Templemore AC returns to the hammer and discus competition at the Irish Life Health Masters Track and Field championships in Tullamore this weekend.  

Dwyer will be looking to defend his hammer championship title after a strong 49.20 metres throw last year.

He will no doubt be looking to get closer to his personal best of 53.63 metres on Sunday.

The championships will be run over two days, on Saturday and Sunday.
