This weekend see’s Apollo host its 4th Open event this year. Lurgan Park is the venue for the clubs Open Cyclo cross event which is the first cyclo cross event of the season so large crowds are expected. The club wants to maintain its reputation as one of the best hosting clubs so we are appealing to everyone in the club to give a hand in either setting up the courses or running the event on the day.

At 2pm on Saturday Fred is leading a team who will outline the course and get it ready for marking out on Sunday. On Sunday morning the team will begin setting out the course at 8am with the kids events beginning at 11 am. The main event will begin at 1pm and run for 1 hour. Anyone who is available to help please let Fred Know by the end of the week. Everyone is asked to contribute to the food at the end of the event.

The Wee Series MTB races came to a close on a rather frosty and cold aftermoon @ the Craigavon Lakes. Running over 8 laps of the course, Matthew Adair [Banbridge] took the race victory (And overall) ahead of Fred McSorley [Apollo] & Cathal Hendron [Apollo]. Fred & Cathal had a good tussle the whole length of the race, with Fred proving the victor on the last few laps. Unfortunately the turn out wasn’t the best [Owing to the cold weather I'm sure] however all competitors enjoyed the racing and the chance to stretch their legs outside the normal racing season, and your support is welcome from the Apollo team.

The underage events were well supported as well, with plenty of much and fun had by all! Unfortunately I don’t have the results as yet but I’ll try and get them up in the next few days. A big thanks must go to Derek for setting out the course and running the events, along with the marshals and sign on people (Who know who you are :) ).
