A great weekend for SLCC as we held our first Junior and Juvenile races on Sunday last in Knocknagree – with races from all ages from Under 12 to Junior. We had competitors from all over Munster and beyond taking part. Thanks to all the participating cubs for their support. Special thanks to both, the Hall Committee and the Fair Field Tidy Towns Committee in Knocknagree for their support over the weekend and to the many marshals and caterers who helped out. Thanks also to the families of Willie Reen, Paud O Leary, Gary O Leary, Andy Davies and John Fleming who presented the various age group winners with their Perpetual Cups. Well done to Club members Kate Murphy, Sean P Fleming, Amy Fleming, Ben Murphy and Denis O Connor who got placed on the day. We intend to run this event annually and make it a permanent event in the calendar.
