2000

Edinburgh to Glasgow road relay

After an absence of 31 years Irvine AC eventually re-qualified for this prestigious event in 1990.

After finding it very difficult in the early years by continually finishing in the last few places, the team gained its best ever position, by finishing in 8th place and gaining the most meritorious award.
