Neither O, ne Mac, shoulde Strutte ne Swagger, thoughe the Streetes of Gallway
Submitted by mel on Wed, 2009-06-24 19:36.
So said a curious byelaw of Galway Corporation in 1518, when they ordered that none of the town's inhabitants should admit any McWilliams, O'Flahertys, Kellys, Burkes or their like into their houses. The West Gate of the town apparently had the inscription "From the ferocious O'Flaherties Good Lord deliver us."
Well, times have changed, and on August 8th 2009, Galway City Harriers are hoping that plenty of ferocious natives are part of the action around the Streets of Galway. Strutting and Swaggereing are optional!

Submitted by mel on Sat, 2009-06-20 00:07.The 2nd night of the Galway Track & Field championships were run off with their usual efficiency last night in Dangan. In anticipation of the official results and times from chief organiser Paul McNamara, GCH were well represented with some good performances in the Javelin, 1500m and 200m events. Joe O'Donnell, Brendan Glynn and Paul Fallon were very impressive for GCH on the night, but the performance of the evening must go to Loughrea A.C.'s Caroline Clancy who posted a brilliant 4.48 for the 1500m.
