UCC sports grounds gets back on track

ONE of Cork’s best-known sports grounds got back on track yesterday almost five months after it was destroyed by floods.

University College Cork (UCC) celebrated as the athletics track at its Mardyke Sports Ground – which hosts the annual Cork City Sports – was reopened while a decision is awaited about when a new track may be laid.

New sand has been installed in the long-jump sand pits and the delivery of new high jump and hurdles equipment, which were also destroyed in the November flood, is awaited.
