Surf’s up as venues chosen

Venues across the South-East have been chosen to host the country’s top canoeing and kayaking club competition next year.

The white-knuckle contests are expected to draw top water sports enthusiasts into the region following the decision by Canoeing Ireland to hold the events at Kilkenny city, Graiguenamanagh, and Tramore on the Waterford coast.

More than 400 athletes from clubs all over the island will compete for the title of inaugural club champion over the two-day competition on Apr 12-13 next.
