Awards honour climber’s memory

FAMILY members of a late Limerick mountaineer gathered in Adare yesterday for the launch of an awards scheme dedicated to his memory.

The Gerard McDonnell Contribution to Sport Award 2010 recognises contributions and achievements in sport by volunteers, participants and administrators throughout Co Limerick.

The initiative has been developed by the County Limerick Local Sports Partnership (LSP), in conjunction with the Limerick County Development Board.
