I'm now back from Irish college, and am currently doing my best to get all results of races from July 19th to August 10th. If you know any that are not on this site, please forward them to me at the usual address.
News was announced last week that the Irish Sports Council would be finiancing both a junior and under-23 team to the World Road Championships in October. This is a relief on the ICF, who's budget is under enough pressure as it is.
