ANGELA BURNS MEMORIAL
10K:
The annual Angela Burns Memorial 10K Fun Run/Walk will take
place on Sunday April 24th at 11am starting from the Ferrybank GAA
grounds. This is a hugely popular event, and with the evenings getting a
brighter, now is the time to get out and about to prepare yourself for the day.
Ferrybank Road Runners meet in the GAA field every Tuesday and Thursday night
at 7pm, and everyone is most welcome to come along and enjoy a leisurely run
out.

items), you can drop them down to the GAA grounds on Saturday mornings from
