Isn't 6 days a bit short notice for a Pan-Celtic Cup Race? I suspect England may not be able to get a full team there ....

Apparently its now not a Pan Celtic Cup race, as planned.

It is a Superstar Slalom race on at Sluice on September 25th.

The Irish are trying to promote slaloms again.

Come along and enjoy the after party & Guiness !!
