Congratulations to Vincent Conway and
his dedicated team from East Galway Athletic Club on the excellent
organisation of the 8 km. Road Race at Castleblakeney which raised
much-needed funds for the Oncology Unit at U.C. Hospital, Galway. But .
. . where were all the various County Galway club singlets? This race
was not well-supported by the various Galway clubs. Some had as few as
two participants, some had none at all. With a huge surge in the
popularity of running in the past decade, this is a question which needs
to be answered. Why did the clubs not support this worthy event? A big
personal thank you to the lovely lady who made some beautiful non-meat
sandwiches with produce from her own garden for the after-race
refreshments! |
