Wragby athlete Jim Gillespie took part in the Biggleswade Open at Sandy on Saturday.
The first event was the discus in which Jim threw very well, winning with a 28.56m effort. Then came the shot and another win, this time with a distance of 8.39m.
Jim commented: “I was very pleased with the discus, especially in the blustery wind which was playing havoc with the flight of the implement; not so with the shot, but a win’s a win.”
The two victories will be a good and timely confident boost as Jim will be competing in the World Hammer Decathlon Championships this weekend.
