Congratulations to Orla Hendron who was elected to the board of Cycling Ireland at last weekend's CI AGM in Cavan.

Orla was co-opted onto the board this year and has had her contribution endorsed by election for a second term.

Orwell's leading female 'supervet' has worked tirelessly for women's cycling for several years and her position at the heart of the decision making process in the governance of our sport is a boost, not just for the women's branch of the sport, but also for Ireland's biggest cycling club.
