After more than 30 years as a fixture in the local sporting calendar, the Sonny Murphy Memorial Road Race is returning to Kilnaboy this week.
The event honours one of Clare’s great sporting figures, Sonny Murphy, a native of Ballycasheen, Kilnaboy, who represented Ireland at the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
