Congrats to club vice chair PETER O’Halloran for a brilliant job on the
Quackers duck race , assisted marvelously by Karina O’Grady-Corcoran. His
Friday interview with KEITH FINNEGAN on Galway Bay was a real cracker.
Sunday’s weather was brilliant, Peter helped by Brian Muldoon and Tom
Corcoran got the canal bedecked in Skyblue and there was a fantastic turnout
from all codes,  as well as some supporting councillors,and a good
representation form exec, managers and coaches. Thanks also to Anthony
Donelan and Eileen Callanan for manning the Duck station, to Prionisias Kitt
for his canal side compering and to Mickey McDonagh in canoe for keeping
them all in line & upstream.Niall Breen has great photos loaded onto Club
