A huge thank you to all of the marshals who helped out tonight and made everything run like clockwork. It's a huge undertaking for a club of any size to run an event like the Stephen Roche GP, and it wouldn't be possible without the 50 or so club members who helped out in some way or other.
Special mention to Dave Hendron and Stephen O'Shea who have put days or weeks of work in to do all of the organisation that allows the rest of us to show up on the evening to do our few hours of marshalling. Thanks to Dave Mc, David Tansey, Paul Tansey, Jen McLoughlin Sheridan, Aidan Hammond as well as all our club mates who came to Marshal, help, drive, point and cheer - thank you all very, very much!
Apart from being a lot of work, an event like this costs lots of money, so thanks are also due to all of the sponsors who make it viable- Scott Sports, Quanta Capital, DLR County Council, Bikefitting Ireland, Joe Dalys, The All American Laundrette, and probably a few others of whom I am not aware.
Finally thanks are due to the Roche family and the residents of Meadowmount for welcoming us in and facilitating us for another year.
