1) Great success for Kingdom swimmers at Munster SC Championships
Well done to all our swimmers on some fantastic performances at Munster SC
Championships over the weekend in UL. The club was well represented in the two day event which saw the Kingdom take home a total of 6 medals ,1 x Gold,3 x silver, 2 x bronze (Full results below)
Head Coach Ger McDonnells’ Report…
“A hugely encouraging weekend for the K. S. C at the Munster S.C championships held in UL over the weekend. All swimmers gave of their very best and a number of personal bests were achieved. As well as our medallists we had several finalists (17 a finals and 7 b finals) of whom a number were first time finalists which augurs well for the future.
Under the guidance of our captains Cian and Maire the squad have rediscovered their hunger and will to race and most importantly they really seemed to enjoy it!
Many thanks to all who contributed to this great weekend, parents and swimmers alike.”
