All Present and Correct!

Well done and a big thank you to everyone that took part in the charity swim and run from Templenoe pier to Star Sailing last Saturday. We were blessed with a beautiful evening and calm water. Over €350 was raised for ORBIS Ireland and I think a good evening was had by all.

The swim wouldn’t have been possible without the help of the safety boats and Kayakers, so a special thank you goes out to PJ and his Kayakers at Star Sailing, Paul Kelly, Donal Lynch, Christopher Harrington, Paul Tanner and James Mulchrone for kindly providing the hot drinks and biscuits and doing the timing.

Paul Tanner easily won the Swim in an impressive time of 38.41 minutes, almost 7 minutes ahead of the second swimmer; John Edwards, who was closely followed by David Niblock. In the ladies Lisa Stapelbroek and Denise Casey came in in just under 50 minutes. Jerry O’Shea won the run, beating Bobby Harrington and Maureen Harrington in a sprint finish.

Star Sailing ensured any hungry Swimmers and Runners were looked after by putting on a BBQ for  us and some great prizes were available thanks to our generous sponsours; The Park Hotel, Kenmare Bay Hotel, PF McCarthy’s Bar&Restaurant, Prego, Mango Crafts, Quills, The White Room and The Soundz of Music.
Many thanks to all and hopefully we will see everyone again next year!
