Well done to Glin club members who put their heads together and sorted out a problem caused by the dreadful heavy rain thats hit them lately. To be fair the running stretch was fair but the rest of the field was bad in places. Hares however were in excellent health, and considering the wet conditions says a lot for the men who tend them.
