IrishFreestyle

The first little gem is full of footage of our little gems the lads and ladies who took part in the first ever junior rodeo held at the meat factory hole on the Inny. Lots of new faces and young talents in the making!

With thanks to Orky and Gill for organising a brilliant event and to Kayaking.ie for supporting the event.

The first official training session for ladies K1 was held last Sunday at the Tuam hole. A cold snowy day with high water levels made for an interesting session. Shane Flaherty was there to offer us helpful advice and constructive coaching in between the ice cream headaches!
