Thanks to St Senans for more great photosA big thank you to United Striders for hosting a fantastic night of competition in New Ross, for the Murco Cup Inter Club. This annual competition between United Striders, St Josephs and St Senans is a thoroughly enjoyable evening, where the emphasis is shifted heavily towards mingling with athletes from the other clubs and having a bit of fun. There no medals and the sole prize at stake is the beautiful cup donated by Murco Catering.
United Strides won the cup for the first time with a massive score. Well done to Striders.
And well done to all our athletes who came along. Those who did not come along - missed out on a great fun night.
Parents you really should look to this competition as one to mark on your calendar each year.
