The Solothon gets under way

Ready for the whistle to start a day of soloing around Kilcullen GAA's new walkways are these early enthusiast girls above, and some of the South Kildare Shamrocks (below), writes Brian Byrne.

The Kroker and Back Solothon is already well on track to reach the target of €60,000 for the completion of the car parks of the Field of Dreams.

Today every playing member of the club, as well as some who are long retired from the games but are coming back for the day to do their bit, will help to bring the combined solos to 100km, the distance from Kilcullen to Croke Park and back.

The younger players will use the shorter track on the new walkway, while older members will use the full 1.2km circuit.

All support through the day will be welcome.  The Diary will be making periodic visits to stay up to date on proceedings.
