Some of the country’s top mountain bikers were in Kilworth last weekend for round 2 of the Cross Country Mountain Bike National Point Series. The setting was Coillte owned land in Glenseskin Wood, close to the townland of Killally, a short distance from the village.
This prestigious competition was hosted by Fermoy Cycling Club, who can feel well pleased with how the event went.

It all seemed pretty serious and it was probably was.
