It is with sadness we report the passing of Derry Foley. Derry was a fine sprinter. He would always lament his lack of “wind”. A true fast twitch man. He competed in the Perth Worlds in the M85 100m and jumps, gaining an Australian record in the 4 x 100m.
His jump records have lasted a few years. As an M80 he was playing 18 holes of golf and then turning up at the track to jump. He was a humble and cheerful Irishman. His daughter Marie-Claire joined the club in 1997. Derry is survived by his wife Geraldine.
