Belvo members raises 20,000 Euros for Crumlin’s Children Hospital
Congratulations to Belvo member Redmond Kennedy who successfully ran the NY marathon last month.
Please find below a message of thanks from Redmond for the kind donations given to him by Belvo members, as well as links to images from the day (including a piece from the Evening Herald):
“Well I did it in 4 hours 10 minutes and 38 seconds. It was probably, both physically and emotionally, the most challenging sporting thing I have ever done.
The atmosphere was unprecedented, nothing but the sound of gushing wind while running over the bridges and then absolute euphoria as we ran through the five boroughs of Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Manhattan. Over 2 million spectators turned out to cheer on circa 39,000 participants – incredible!
Not a mile went by without thinking of all the support both financial and goodwill I received. Bob, Niall and I raised close to €20,000 for the Children’s Medical and Research Foundation at Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin and I wish to sincerely acknowledge and thank you.”

Ladies beat Malahide
Old Belvedere ladies beat a well-drilled Malahide team on Sunday by 29 points to nil in what was their finest performance of the season.
Belvo absorbed a huge amount of pressure from the opposition in the first twenty minutes before taking control and dominating play from then on.
Move of the match was a down-and-drive from a lineout outside Malahide’s try line which resulted in a well taken try for prop Aoife Kelly. Other try scorers were Elaine Cohalan, Claire Byrne and Anne-Marie Barcoe. Elaine Cohalan displayed some fine kicking with three conversions and a penalty.
