“A lot of training and support from our fellow members of Tralee Bay Sailing Club and hard work and dedication by my fantastic crew was really the key to reaching our goal of becoming National Under 25 Champions.
This would not have been possible without the gift of a boat from Terence McGrath of MCG Logistics, Bob Walsh of Agri LLoyd, Kerry County Council at Fenit Marina and the support of our sponsors Aim Financial Planning, Conexim and my employers 4Site,” said Tadhg.
Very proud Kerry person reading that. Well done lads!!! Stiff competition.
