The hard training on the Shannon as can be seen in our picture gallery paid off at the weekend as Mike Cunney, Mike Thornhill our web designer and Colin Killeen braved the Atlantic shores in Donegal to represent Offaly in the All Ireland Surf Championships to finish in seventh spot. Water was a bit more difficult to manage than the pull of the outboard motor on the Shannon but they have inproved position in the last three finals. It is only a matter of time until the right sponsor comes along and the All Ireland will we hope be held on the Shannon. Times are changing as Mike Cunney said.
