Thanks Colm. I have a provisional so I can't drive up so the train is my only option.

Man, it is so cool to see the improvements in the skill and attitude of the children as they grow in this sport.

While they mightn't notice, as coaches and officials we can see tighter games, better understanding of sportsmanship and competing, and an overall dedication that's remarkable to witness.

Thanks to all the kids who competed and to the parents for supporting us.

Dasmoose,

a wee inquiry plz...

Who are Team Northern Ireland? Is this ur team name?

Thanx..

dasmoose

Lol no mate there is no "team northern ireland" we just thought it would be nice to get a pic of all the competidors from NI!

As far as I'm aware the distribution was along the lines of :

Me (Mark Curry) in the blue t-shirt, and Conor McRory,far right, from Gracie Barra

Caoimhe McGill from Team Revolution

and I think the rest of the lads train with Sebastien Torres (3rd from left) at his club in warrenpoint or his club in chum sut although I know several of them train at other places as well.

Excellent to see Peter competing, he's great in training.

Colm_OReilly

Yeah I got to see a few of his matches - hopefully he understood the comedy booes and hollers of "cheeep" when he kneebarred his opponents.

Scramble

I think Arek definitley saw the irony in getting kneebarred... 'Live by the sword...'
