THERE ARE still a number of vacancies in the county cross-country events for the national Community Games finals. The county finals were held on Saturday last and there was a disappointing response.
All the Under-12 positions (boys and girls) were filled. There are two places available in the 1,200m for girls, two places left on the Under14 boys' panel, and four places available on the Under-14 girls' panel.
Names to be forwarded to the county Secretary, Eilish Kehoe, by Monday next, March 8. No names will be accepted after this date.
The national A.G.M. took place at the Hodson Bay Hotel in Athlone last weekend. A few motions were passed but these will not come in force for another two years. Full report and details in next week's issue.
