Meyler keeping it simple with positive attitude to lockdown

‘Training by myself now, I’m trying to do that extra bit,’ says Conor Meyler, who is staying in shape at his home in Omagh. Picture: Tommy Dickson/INPHO

The treadmill in the Meyler shed still works, Conor is happy to report. For just under four hours last Monday week, his father and former Tyrone footballer Seánie pounded the machine to complete a marathon and raise funds for nursing staff in Enniskillen’s South West Acute Hospital.

Inspired by his wife Paula who works in the hospital’s Covid-19 unit, Seánie raised over £20,000.
