TIPP'S FITTEST SUPERSTARS 

Tipp's Fittest Superstars with Davy Fitzgerald was held on Saturday, June 15th in Cashel Rugby Grounds and hosted by Cashel Rugby and Cashel King Cormacs GAA. It was a very wet day which made the course slippery. We had club athletes on two teams. Club member Darren Gayson competed with Stephen Flanagan of Moyne AC, Mary Burke and Adrian O'Dwyer and were sponsored by Little Treasures Creche owners Anita and Andrian O'Dwyer. They done very well on all obstacles and made some great time over the 10ft wall. They held first place all day and gained a further advantage on the final round which led to their victory and winning the €3,000 prize fund. We also had a team called Dundrum AC with club members Michael Ryan and John Ryan, along with Aoife Byrne from Rosegreen and Raphael Renard from Brittany, France who both work with Michael. They performed well but missed out on making the final.
