Schoolboy stacks ‘em high in bid for Irish team place

A LIMERICK schoolboy, with lightening fast hand-eye co-ordination, is hoping to book his place on the Irish team to travel to the US next month for a major international sports championships.

Fifteen-year-old Tadhg Bogan-Carey recorded extremely fast times in all of his competition classes in the World Sport Stacking Championships in Denver last April.

Now the sports-mad teenager is one of dozens expected to stack specially-designed cups in pre-determined sequences against the clock when he competes in the Fruice Dilute Irish Sport Stacking Championships in St Patrick’s College in Dublin on Saturday next.
