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.
