John F. Dunne and his sub-committee are looking
after the requirements of the visiting team for training
purposes. John comments that Naas is very fortunate that
it has so many facilities for training. The committee would
at this stage like to thank the following managements and
staff for making their facilities available for the training
requirements for our visitors: The Monread Sports and Leisure
Centre; Killashee Leisure Centre; Naas Sports Centre/Athletic
Club; Acorn Equestrian Centre, Maynooth; Red Lane Golf Centre;
The Ten Pin Bowling, Carlow. Without whose help and assistance
the athletes would not have an opportunity for training
in the area.
