Congratulations to Tipperary paddlers Béibhin Butler (left) and Rory Kearney (right) who both secured places on the Irish Freestyle Team competing in Columbus - Georgia, USA in October 2023.
Béibhin will be competing in senior women’s K1 and C1 with Rory competing in junior men’s K1.
The team trials took place on the Curragower Wave in Limerick City on Saturday and Sunday, February 4 and 5, with fierce competition in all the categories.
Both athletes have represented Ireland previously in European and World championships and will use these hard-earned experiences to good effect in the United States.
