A wonderful photo of a Sports Day in Millstreet Town Park in 1976. You have to love the lads running in long pants, jumpers, shirts and ties! Thanks to Tony Kelleher (formerly of Minor Row) who allowed us to use this photo, which he scanned before time got the better of the print.
But, can anyone name the runners? Tony is out in front in the photo above, and Tony is out in front on the national stage these days, as he claimed the National Masters Indoor 800m (M40) title in Athlone on Saturday (Feb 8th) finishing in a time of 2mins 4 secs. He is also national Masters Outdoor Champion which he won last August in Tullamore.
