16 :lol:

If we get a big response, we will increase the number of people that can race. We said 16 because we had to come up with a number.

Will just give some credit to Robbo here, this was his idea :idea:

Just as a side note, If we can get a few more sponsors on board, I'm happy to give the club's participant some sort of trophy also for having the fastest man in the SAASL.

No cheating though, I don't want to see Usian Bolt arrive in a Gardens shirt Lefty :lol:

Reminder that this is on a Saturday. I know trial games are important but at worst the player will run 200 meters.

I'm afraid that Porker has hung up his spikes but they fit me so I could be a chance of running if there is a pie and a pint at the end?

We might do it like the Grayhounds were they chase a rabbit. We can put a beer and yiros at the finish line for the competitors. :D

Would have to say dingle is up there from the farm, but Mark Burbidge is by far the fastest runner at our club and would def be in the top 3 in amateurs :D
