January 17 – Notice Regarding
County Road Championships
As
you all will have been aware, the recent bad weather resulted in the
cancellation of a number of athletic events including the Mallow 10 Mile Road
Race scheduled for January 10th. Mallow AC have written to the
board requesting permission to hold their rescheduled race on Sunday February 7th,
the proposed date for the County Road Championships in Ballinhassig. The
road championships could be held in the same venue on Wednesday March 17th
in conjunction with the Paddy Desmond Memorial Road Race. Options for
Mallow to hold the race on a different date are extremely limited due to the
calendar being essentially full until mid-May.
A
decision will be made on Mallows Request at the AGM on Saturday.
