PAUL LUCEY MEMORIAL RUN/WALK.

The 10K & 5K Paul Lucey Memorial Run/Walk ‘Run for the Rock’, which took place in ideal weather conditions on this Bank Holiday Monday morning (7th May), was a resounding success, with over 500 competitors taking part.

Thanks to everyone involved in organizing the event, all our members who provided stewarding on the day and who did a superb job with the catering and, of course, all those who participated in the event. A fabulous occasion to remember a person who will always be in the memories of all who knew him.

SENIOR FOOTBALL: Round 4 of the Co. League goes ahead at the week-end. Our game, away to Glenflesk, is fixed for next Saturday evening (13th May) at 7pm.
