Huge excitement at the quays in Carrick on Shannon over the past few hours as a large contingent of the Connacht Rugby team and management along with some special guests and riders had a stopover on their Galway to Sligo Charity Cycle #care4claire for approximately an hour and met with many of the local young players and signed autographs and jerseys before setting off on the road to Sligo where they will finish later this evening.
A quick few photos here and will have LOTS more photos later Great to see the likes of Connacht Head Coach Andy Friend, Ireland legends Kieran Marmion and Eric Elwood and John Maughan from the world of GAA take the time to chat and meet as many local kids as possible on their stopover.
