As always, it's worth pointing out that the various clubs may be slightly different in that they often have their own priorities in terms of track and field, cross country, Fit4Lfe, marathon and half-marathon training and so on.
Well done Ballintotis for such an impressive year. Their 4ml race is one of the best in the country and probably the reason for their growth in local membership. Well done all concerned.
