Last night's meeting  - report by Manuelle Ratte of Belfield Runners. 
"We haven't forgotten the third race of the Summer League was never run and that some people had paid for that race. It was agreed to "forget about it"; the €20  paid for three races will be used to buy a t-shirt  or something else. 
"In the Winter League, there could be a fifth race depending on how the  first four races go but nothing has been decided.  We were thinking of having five races in the winter and two in the summer when it is even harder to find dates for races on the roads."
