As Pat is still taking a well earned rest we include in his column the results of the Community Games. Pat was for years an active member of the organising committee and I’m sure had he been writing today he would have included the article.
Athea Community Games
The Annual Athea Community games were held at Páirc na nGael on Sunday evening last and despite it being a cold evening the children along with their parents turned out for the event. The committee incidentally thank all the volunteers who helped out on the day, those who stood at the finishing line, those who organised the races and those who gave out the medals. Well done to everyone.
