CLOSE to 30,000 people attended the four-day Tramore August Festival which ended last Sunday. This included an almost capacity crowd of nearly 10,000 people on Saturday evening.

Track manager Owen Byrne reported: “The weather played ball though it presented challenges in terms of providing safe ground. We had just 12ml of rain in the previous 14 weeks and none at all in the three weeks leading up to the Festival. That was unprecedented.”
