Limericks Newest European Champion

Mike Yelverton today came in first in his age group in a time of 1:02:38sec  and 4th overall in a spectular sprint finish in the european championship sprint distance race earlier today in Athlone.

Well done to Mike and all the Yelverton Family From All the Club

Also Joan Griffin won her age group and Lisa Horgan came third in hers. There were also some great performances from a number of Limerick Tri Club athletes including Brian Jenkins who fought back to  5^th in his age group after coming in down in the swim and Dave Beary who finished 7^th in his age group. A big crowed from Limerick headed up and there was plenty of vocal support for all the Irish athletes from the supporting Limerick crowd.
