Campbell feels the pain of Berlin blow

DAVID CAMPBELL makes a quick return to competitive running in Germany next Saturday when he lines up for an onslaught on the 1,000m.

The Kildare man had resigned himself to the fact that he would not be on the plane for the world championships in Berlin long before the team was announced last Tuesday.

He had been battling it out with Thomas Chamney (Crusaders) for a place in the 800m and it went down to the wire at the Woodies DIY national championships in Morton Stadium on Sunday.
