There was bitter disappointment for the Bracken family from Kinnegad when they were extremely unfortunate to be eliminated from the latest heat of Ireland’s Fittest Family.
The Brackens -Andrew (52) Eoghan (20), Ruaidhrí (18) and Ailbhe (16) did extremely well to reach the quarter-final stages of the endurance competition for families, which was broadcast on RTE 1 last Sunday evening.
The Brackens were up against three other families in the quarter final, the Kulcznskis from Clare, the Allens from Tipperary and the O’Rourkes from Galway.
