Last weekend some club members headed down to Waterford to compete in the Colligan Gorge Games. Water levels were nice and high!!! Steve stayed at the accommodation right beside the river Friday night the rest of us stayed in Waterford/Tramore with Brian travelling from Wicklow Saturday morning trying to set a new record for the journey time.
The day started with the men’s expert category as you can see below there was some tough competition!! Brian and Steve battling it out unfortunately none of our men’s expert made it through to the finals.
Men’s sport were up next and we can see John and Martin battle it out…. will Martin ever catch up with John???? Unfortunately none of our club made it through.
Up next was myself in the women’s sport category after an exhausting race down the gorge I managed to be in the lead for the final drop, however a nasty underwater gremlin pulled me over and popped my deck forcing me to swim to the bell to come in second securing me a place in the final.
The team event was next and there were three tasks to be completed someone had to roll, catch an eddie at the top of the last drop and do a paddle spin on the last drop see below for photos of Brian and Paul mid spin.
All in all a great event and were all looking forward to next year!!
