Faugheen 50 Motorcycle Road Racing Club's cacophonus cavalcade of motorbikes and motorised go karts has won the best entry prize in Carrick-on-Suir's St Patrick's Day Parade that was enjoyed by thousands of spectators earlier today (Tuesday, March 17).
Carrick-on-Suir's St Patrick's Day Parade Committee presented the club's representatives with the Cathleen Fahey Cup after the conclusion of the pageant at the car park at Greenside next to Carrick-on-Suir Library.
The motorcycle racing club's entry included a lorry carrying on its trailer several racing motorbikes whose drivers revelled in revving their engines. The lorry, which advertised the Faugheen 50 sprint series of races planned in July, was followed by an equally noisy fleet of motorbikes and motorised go-karts.
Cllr David Dunne of Carrick-on-Suir's St Patrick's Day Parade Committee paid tribute to the Faugheen 50 RR Club for the huge effort its members put into taking part in the parade and congratulated the club on winning the Cathleen Fahey Cup.
The trophy is named in memory of the late Cathleen Fahey, a much loved member of Carrick's St Patrick's Day Parade Committee who passed away a few years ago.
