The Galway County Community Games Athletic and Cycling Finals took place in Ballinderreen on Sunday (3rd June) as hundreds of young children participated in all events, representing all areas in Galway.
The weather was great and the officials were extraordinary and a wonderful fun filled day was had by all who attended.
Cllr Eileen Mannion (Cathaoirleach na Gaillimhe) and John Byrne (CEO Aldi Community Games) attended the Opening Cermony and the first winners of the day were for the parade – 1. Ballinderreen, 2. Moylough/Mountbellew, 3. Dunmore/Garrafrauns/Kiltevna.
But all areas looked well with particular mention to Claregalway/Lackagh, Salthill/Claddagh and Annaghdown who read the pledges and lit the Bowl of Light. It was a great start to a day that went from strength to strength.
All the winners qualified to represent Galway at the Aldi Community Games National Finals in University of Limerick on the weekend of August 17th – 19th.
Winners in all events will now represent Galway at the Aldi Community Games National Finals in University of Limerick on the weekend 17th to 19th August 2018.
And over 230 photos from the event can be found on the Galway Community Games Facebook Page.
