We had a fantastic day in the Athlone Canal at the weekend. In 1st place was Trevor Wykes with 12.780kg. Next was Arthur Judge on 9.940kg followed by Pawel in 3rd place with 8.85kg.

This is the venue for our series final on the 5th February. It’s all to play for….

Many thanks to the Council and Athlone Tidy Towns for the massive clean-up of the area.
