KILMORE AC

-

Kilmore AC Winter League Final: Athletes from all corners of the County descended upon Kilmore on Thursday evening for the final round of our annual Winter League.

There was plenty at stake in all of the age categories with the smallest of margins separting athletes across the board.

The course was mucky in places after the heavy rain two days before making conditions underfoot in places difficult. The races provided great entertainm­ent with some exciting finishes.

Refreshmen­ts were served afterwards in Kilmore GAA Centre, along with prize giving.

Thanks to all our fantastic volunteers, athletes and parents for making the league a success. See you all in 2019!
