    So it is!!
    Any details? I've seen a few of the posters from previous years so I presume it will be similar enough.
    Thanks

    Apologies, I never saw one taking so long so I presumed it was empty.
    Thanks

    If the weather holds up it will help, no surface water etc. Hopefully lads are fed up.now and decide to give it a miss.
    Lad that won Traders Cup.is a cert to be there imo, looks very strong on falt courses.

    That course never feels as flat as it should be!

    Is it a dangerous course or just lads themselves being the problem?

    Was that the crash at the finish ? In fairness of any finish in a race its possibly on the widest road possible and on a drag , so there should not possibly be a crash there . No excuse for it really .

    It was an honest question, I live in lucan so have to get kids to sports etc at the weekend and would like to avoid the race if possible.

    Also I am sure the stewards would prefer to have unnecessary traffic to deal with.


    Oh wait I see the link above, its not in Lucan!! Going by the name it was in Lucan in the past?

    Out on the Trim Road - loops of a well used racing circuit. Think it might start at Dunsany GAA.
