1986, the first Patrick Bell & Nicky Phillips Memorial race
Thanks to both the Meath Chronicle and the former Meath Weekender, who have always covered our great community event over the years.
This is the report from the former Meath Weekender newspaper of the day, and local cycling also got a mention. The late Noel Coogan, a native of Ardbraccan, was sports editor with the Meath Weekender for many years and covered athletics among many other sports with a great depth of knowledge.
