A fine bright spring morning brought the crowds to Strand Road on Sunday to participate in the 5/10k run in honour of the late Tom Begley.

There was a great atmosphere as the 300+ people gathered before the 11.00 o'clock start, with many families present to savour the occasion. It was delightful to hear the cúpla focal ring out as the event was well supported by Tom’s many friends from back west.

The presence of Kay, Patrick, Niamh, Simon, Adam, Diarmuid, Corney ( Tom's brothers) and sister Eileen along with some of Tom's former colleagues in CBS was much appreciated.

We would like to thank everyone who took part, to Bomber and David for presenting the medals and the hard working committee who helped to make this such an enjoyable event.
