Kilconly cycles back to Kerry, 20 years on, for new astro pitch

A COMMUNITY cycle of over 200km between Kilconly and its namesake village in Co Kerry is to be repeated 20 years after it was first undertaken, in a bid to secure new sporting facilities in the village.
The Kilconly Community Recreation Group is seeking to repeat the mammoth trek to Kilconly, near Ballybunion, as part of a fundraising drive to support a new astro turf pitch.
Many of those who took part in the original cycle back in 1995 are pledging to get back in the saddle in order to raise the €50,000 needed to realise the new facility.
