Clonliffe Master Athlete of the year Pat Bonass has received possibly the highest award that an Irish Masters athlete can achieve. The Irish Masters Athletics Association has announced that Pat is this year`s recipient of the Tadgh Lynch Perpetual Trophy for services to Irish Masters Athletics.
This award in memory of Tadgh Lynch has been awarded since 1994. Pat becomes the first Clonliffe athlete to receive the honour and it is fitting reward for the European Masters O/70 Cross Country bronze medallist who has long been a champion of Masters Athletics.
