Rogaine 2008 Winners
Congratulations to Andrew McCarthy and Moire O’Sullivan, who retained their 24 hr title, and to Fred Hammond and Desi O’Hagan, winners of the 6-hr event.
A big thank you to everyone who helped organise this weekend’s Rogaine.
The weather conditions were challenging for the competitors to say the least but are an organiser’s worst fear. Fair play to Westy and Jim who stayed up all night helping teams across the swollen Inchavore river.
And congratulations to Andrew and Moira on retaining their Rogaine title in such atrocious conditions.
