Sligo Kayak Club was represented at the Lower Liffey Race, Saturday 10th of september 2011 when a few of us headed up for the race which runs from Salmon Leap canoe club in Leixlip and ends at the Garda Rowing club, Islandbridge 9 miles later.
Pictured L to R: Rachel Bourne, Daniel Burke, Karl Byrne, Emer Conway, Raurai O Heir.
The sun shone all day and although the water didn't have much flow to it everybody was is the great spirit of the day.
A Huge congrats to Raurai who won the under 18 section of the race and Rachel who came second in the ladies category.

A great day out kayaking and would highly recommend this race as an introduction to the full Liffey Descent.
