1985 Legal Offices Fun Run Following the unprecedented success of last year's Fun Run in the Phoenix Park, it has been decided to organise another Run this year on Sunday, 5th May, 1985 at 3.00 p.m. The Run will take place in the Phoenix Park over the same course as before (starting and finishing at Lorraine Hockey Club). There will be spot prizes of an alcoholic nature to mark the occasion. For those of you who lack that competitive instinct (and we stress that this is essentially a "FUN RUN") there will be the satisfaction of knowing that your entry subscription of IR£4.00 will be donated to Concern's Ethiopian Famine Relief Fund. It is anticipated that every participant will try to obtain sponsorship for this event for Concern. Special sponsor- ship cards and running vests will be made available on request. This is a great opportunity to get in a spot of exercise on a Sunday afternoon, meet interesting people, and at the same time contribute to a very worthy cause. Please send your entry subscriptions to any of the undersigned, crossed and made payable to "Legal Offices 10K Fun Run Committee".

Patrick MacEntee Cup Solicitors - 4 Barristers - 2

Revenge is sweet was the thought reflected in the faces of the victorious members of the Solicitors' Team, which defeated the Barristers 4-2 in the annual soccer match for the Patrick MacEntee Cup. The Cup was donated by the Chairman of the Bar Council in 1983, to be played for annually by a team selected from the Solicitors, and one selected from the Barristers. In the inaugural match, held in 1983, the Barristers were worthy winners by a 6-3 margin, despite a hat trick by Michael Staines. This year, however, the Solicitors captured the cup in an enter- taining and exciting match, played just before Christmas at Blackhall Place. The pace was very fast from the beginning, and the Barristers went ahead with a beautifully taken free kick by the man of the match, Dudley Solan, whose last appearance in a major contest had been for U.C.D. against Everton at Goodison Park! In the second half, the play began to run more in favour of the Solicitors. This was due in no small part to the appearance of veteran Bill Jolley, and Michael Kealy scrambled the ball past the Barristers' goalkeeper, Chris Meehan. A well taken free kick by Johnny Walsh was headed home by Solicitors' man of the match, Tom Donaghy. The Bar seemed to be on the run, until Solan struck again and beat Eamon Gill from ten yards. Michael Kealy then scored again for the Solicitors to give them a 3-2 lead and the match was put beyond doubt by another fine goal, this time by John O'Brien. The Cup was presented by Hugh O'Flaherty S.C., standing in for Paddy MacEntee S.C., who was engaged elsewhere. Though magnanimous in defeat, he indicated that an enquiry would be held by the Bar Council into the whole affair. Anthony Collins, President of the Incor- porated Law Society of Ireland, was obviously delighted to be present at the ceremony. For the record, the teams lined out as follows: Solicitors' Team: Eamon Gill, Michael Staines, Johnny Walsh, Denis McSweeney, Tom Donaghy, Niall O'Leary (Captain), Peter Gartland, John Breslin, Michael
