End of the road for Ballynonty AC

 

After 26 years in existence, Ballynonty AC in Co.Tipperary have finally pulled the plug. While the club was never a big one, it does show the problems that some of the smaller rural clubs are having.

Most of the older runners on the race circuit will have come across Ballynonty AC members at races over the years and the club will be remembered for holding a low key 10-mile road race every July which had its own following.

In a statement, Neilie Hall said..." It's with great sadness that I have to announce the end of Ballynonty AC as of the 1st of October 2020. We had some great times over the last 26 years but the runners and leaders have gone. I would like to thank everyone who helped out over years."
