THE annual Dromin Athlacca Cross-Country Charity Ride will take place today, leaving Athlacca, Co Limerick at 12:30pm.

The ride was first run over 30 years ago and was the first of its kind in Ireland. It was originally the brain child of Brian McMahon, former European junior show jumping champion, while Enda Bolger, National Hunt trainer and former point-to-point champion jockey is another key figure in setting out the course.
