Photo: Ger Leahy The 2010 Great Stuff Cork City Rally Sprint was a great success. It combined the passion of Cork Motor Club (CMC) for its sport with the memory of a deceased club member (Darren Swanton RIP) to raise money for Marymount Hospice. It was appropriate that Marymount was the beneficiary of the profits of the event as Darren was a patient of Marymount Hospice. This unique motorsport event, held on the 30th of May 2010 in the heart of Cork City (former Kinsale Road Landfill), was held in association with Cork City Council and the Bishopstown Lions Club. It resulted in €28,512 being raised for Marymount which is located in Cork City and provides a range of services for free to terminally ill patients. It is an extremely worthy cause, providing help and support to patients and their families during very difficult times. A special word of thanks to the title sponsor of the event “Great Stuff Caterers” whose support gave CMC the confidence to go ahead with running the event. CMC would also like to thank all the sponsors for their extremely generous support which made the outcome of this event so successful. To everybody who helped in any way in the organisation of the event and to all the volunteers on the day, you should be proud in the knowledge that the money raised was the single biggest voluntary event contribution made to Marymount in 2010. CMC would like to thank the competitors on the day for providing the entertainment. It’s not often you get the opportunity to use your hobby and passion for the greater good. Conditions were wet and slippy on the day and the track did cut up “slightly”, but boy did they manage to put on a show! The conditions may not have added to the fun of competing, but it certainly added to the fun of watching. CMC would like to congratulate all class winners and to the overall winner of the event Brian O’Keeffe and co driver Donacha O’Callaghan. It’s not too often you get to fly through traffic in Cork City, but Brian certainly wasn’t thinking about red traffic lights on the day. Second overall went to Brian O’Mahony (Metro 6R4) while third went to Alan Ring (Lancer Evo 9). Finally, Marymount has approached CMC to run this event again in 2011 and CMC has applied Cork City Council for a permit to run the event on the 22nd of May. Marymount’s need for funding is great with the opening of the new hospital. In the current climate of doom and gloom, it is an opportunity to create a positive outcome and to support individuals and their families in their time of need. CMC is asking everybody to support the 2011 Great Stuff Cork City Rally Sprint. Club Website / DetailsPosted: January 2, 1990 3:02 PM
