‘I never thought that I would see this track while I’m still actually doing the sport. To see it now is just insane – and the fact that I was opening it too!’

'We are so, so lucky to have this here in Bandon Athletic Club'

Very fitting that two-time Olympian Phil Healy cut the ribbon today to officially open Bandon Athletic Club's superb new track.

Bandon AC now has a place to call home.

Well done to all involved!

‘This is a game-changer. What it does is give athletes something on their doorstep. They don’t have to spend time travelling to Cork, which could be an extra hour or more. Now, it makes it easier for people to decide to commit to athletics'

Bandon AC's new athletics track is the first of its kind in West Cork, and as chairperson Adrian O'Flynn tells us, the destination has been worth the journey.

‘I am definitely very proud of being an Olympian. It gives me strength to do the day-to-day things that I do. Looking back, I didn’t get all the help I needed to do what I did so I feel that my struggle to get there was very difficult. But I feel that it stands to me – it has given me an inherent fearlessness, and confidence’

Bandon AC's first Olympian Breeda Dennehy-Willis hasn't done an interview in over 20 years, she reckons, so this one is worth reading. (€)
