Athea Road Race Club does their bit for Road Racing.

At the recent Faugheen 50 road races, members of The Athea Road Race Club presented a cheque for €800 to The MCI Medical Team. This money was raised at a successful Martin Finnegan Memorial Poker Run, which was held on May 3rd last. The Late Martin Finnegan was a devote supporter of the MCI Medical Team. Athea Road Race Club would like to thank everyone who supported this run and we look forward to your continued support. The club would also like to thank Joe Connolly at www.bigjoephotos.eu for use of his photos from the cheque presentation.

ATHEA ROAD RACES 2009 TO BE TELEVISED ON RTE 1.

Athea Road Race Club are proud to announce that a feature relating to our Road Races which occurred on June 27th & 28th last, will be televised by Nationwide on Sunday July 26th @ 6.30pm on RTE 1. This is another first for the club, and we would like to thank Marian & Matt from Matt Kelly Productions for all their work and co-operation in relation to this. Hopefully this will be the start of our National Television Station taking the Sport of Road Racing more seriously and highlight the positive aspects to the sport. The club would like to thank all who aided in making this possible.

Andrew Neill #76 RIP

The club would like to express our deepest condolenses to Andrew's wife Sharon and his family at this sad time. Andrew came 2nd in the 250cc Championship Race in Athea just two weeks ago. Andrew was a regular at Athea Road Races and will be sincerely missed by all.

Members of the Athea Road Race Club travelled to Dungannon to attend Andrew's funeral.

Andrew Neill #76 RIP.

Michael Pearson

"I quite enjoy the Athea races, as there is no mucking about there as far as the organising goes "

"It was good to get the 125 race win, the wee bike was flying, but I seem to have no luck with the 250 at the moment"  
Michael Dunlop

"The club also deserve praise for putting on a great meeting and they'd done a terrific job in making the circuit a lot safer. They looked after me all weekend so a big thanks to them and to all the team for their hard work and effort once more."
