1st Kilbeggan YB - 16/07/22

[willie reynolds]

Mass Liberation starts the NIPA Y/B Season

After several years of Area Liberations for the various NIPA Sections the decision was took that for this year the season would start with mass liberations and continue through till the final race in September. Mullingar was the expected venue for the first two races but with the site not available the alternative was to use Kilbeggan Race Course. The site is 11 miles north of Tullamore and 17 miles south of Mullingar. Returns in the two races for the members that sent were satisfactory, especially the second race which was brought forward to the Friday.
