Women’s 4 miles (6.4km) for THE JIM MCNAMARA CUP

Saturday 11 March will be the first running of the Jim McNamara Cup for the women’s club cross country championship over 4 miles (6.4km). Jim’s first anniversary occurs on Friday 10 March so it is fitting that we can hold this race the next day.

Men’s 6 miles (9.6km) for THE FAUGH-A-BALLAGH CUP

2017 is the 110th anniversary of the presentation of the Faugh-A-Ballagh Cup by the 87th Royal Irish Fusiliers in 1907 as a perpetual trophy for the men’s club cross country championship over 6 miles (9.6km).

We hope that there will be a large turn out by members in both races as a fitting way to honour Jim.

****************************************************************

Members, past and present, contributed towards the cost of the Jim McNamara Cup. Engraved medals will be awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd in both races. Also, commemorative medals will be awarded to all participants.

After the championships, we will gather in the Clubhouse for the presentation and to remember Jim. A video will be shown with details of Jim’s life and his career in athletics.

Refreshments will be served. Looking forward to seeing you on this special occasion.

Yours in sport,

Iain Morrison
President.
