What’s left of UCD track
Almost 300 turned out for Portmarnock Athletic Club’s first foray into race organising last night – a 10km to the beach and back. Winners were Brian Leahy of Raheny and Cindy Hickey of (we think) Fingallians.
IRISHTOWN STADIUM UPDATE: The track is now stripped, as are the long jump areas, but it looks as if it still needs some tidying-up. To lay the new track, five dry days are needed. Tragically, there is no sign of anything being done (yet) to the shot put circle, which turns into a large bird bath when it rains. No word either of any replacement at Belfield for the old track, now two-thirds covered in four-wheeled vehicles.
