Cork City International Sports

In glorious Sunshine a superb day of athletics was had on Saturday July 2nd at the CIT Track. Prior to the Senior International Track & Field program there was a Juvenile series of 300m races. Sally Brown and Emma, Luke and Fergus O'Brien competed well and went autograph hunting for the afternoon. A great day was had by all.
