Great excitement in Millstreet today as the superbly fit participants in the 2013 National Cycle Rás passed through the centre of Millstreet at lunchtime with two leading cyclists. The main Rás was preceded by the very inspiring Charity Cycle. A grandfather with a Millstreet connection was given a royal welcome while the cyclists were served delicious refreshments by Millstreet G.A.A. and FÁS Staff. We shall have lots more pictures later and we got excellent interviews for LTV2 with Roy who worked with RTÉ conducting the introductions with stars of the cycling and G.A.A. world.   Click on the images to enlarge.   (S.R.)

To get us in the mood for the 2013 Cork 20 Rally which will be based in Millstreet for the first time ever this year we take a look back at footage from some previous Cork 20 Rallies that have been held over the years to see what we have in store for us in Millstreet with the arrival of this event in October.

This time we go back to the 1987 Cork 20 Rally which would be the last Competitive Event that Billy Coleman took part in,driving a BMW M3 Coleman showed initial promise but crashed out in treacherous conditions early in the Rally.

Over the coming few weeks/months we will feature more Cork 20 footage from years gone by in a build up to what will be a Major Event for Millstreet to be held on 4th, 5th & 6th October 2013.
