The National Navigation Championship
comes to an end this weekend with the Monaghan March Navigation Trial.
Aaron McElroy and Declan Tynan have organised an 80-mile event based out of the Sean McDermotts GAA Complex in Threemilehouse.
As ever, marshals are required for the successful running of this event.
Anyone who is available to help out on the night are asked to contact Co. Monaghan Motor Club.
Evin Hughes/Pakie Duffy are provisionally the National Champions following the previous Cavan event, but they’ll be hoping to add the 2025/26 Squealing Pig Border Navigation Championship to this season’s success.
