We've been at these races for a number of years now and this time, we gave away two bursaries to Irish racers, 1 male and one female.
In order to give all the Irish racers a chance, these prizes were drawn, rather than given to winners of categories.
The two lucky winners were:
Emily Ainsworth and Alex Doogan. These guys won a weeks training package with us over the winter.
There was some great racing at the weekend, despite the weather!

With rain ALL day on Saturday and even some fog later in the day, the Dual slalom was interesting as you couldn't se the top of the slope from the bottom!
The rain eased off overnight and it was reasonably dry on Sunday, with low cloud visible over Dublin bay from the top of the hill.

The Mens race on Sunday saw what was probably the tights finish we've seen this summer with only 5 hundredths of a second seperating the top 3.
Tom Hales, 1 hundredth ahead of Gerard Flahive who was 4 hundredths ahead of Andrew Watson.
The slope itself is set in some great countryside and, even with the wet weather, it was a great weekend.
