  • IPO NATIONALS GALWAY 09

    Im very pleased to report that this years National ( Powerlifting ) ( Benchpresas ) & ( Deadlift ) Championships where a great success. Many thanks to Tony Mc Caffery from Galway City Gym for putting on a great championships once again!! We had 49 lifters from all corners of the country. It was a very long day lifting started @ 11am & went on late into the evening til 8pm. There was a very fine display of lifting rite throughout the day with many new national records been broken. There was alot of new lifters this year & i have to say i was very impressed with there lifting. We have now selected the lifters from the nationals that will go on to lift as part of the Irish team in Amsterdam on June 26th - 29th. We will have 14 lifters doing the full powerlifting event 7 doing the single benchpress & 7 doing the single deadlift event. I think we are in with a very strong chance of taken the best team trophy @ this years European championship as we are world team champions for 2008 it be very nice to claim the 09 EPC AWARD!! :D
