Newly Established Athletics Club in Rosscarbery, West Cork

Back in 2011, I had a post up about a 5k run in Rosscarbery, West Cork. It was named about a famous 19th century Irish athlete named TJ O'Mahony who was known as the Rosscarbery Steam Engine. More info HERE

Since then, a local running group was formed and they have called themselves the Rosscarbery Steam Runners. They have recently joined Athletics Ireland to become a formal athletics club.

Some info from the club...
