Dermot Kehoe, Boley club
Trust Boley to go one better 
Not only has Boley’s Dermot Kehoe competed in a World final before having competed in a National final but he also won the Gold medal in that final, the year was 1980!
Anyone else out there (from Ireland, England or anywhere) ever competed in a World final before having competed in a National final please contactus@irishtugofwar.net
Ollie Coleman, Lakehill club
Is Ollie Coleman from the Lakehill club the first man ever to have competed in a World final having never competed in a National final?
If I’m wrong then

We require a set of outdoor Tug of War boots for next year’s youth developments sessions at Santry Stadium. We are looking for sizes ranging from 7 - 11. Does anyone know where we can purchase those army boots? We can put the steel on them ourselves. Please email us at contactus@irishtugofwar.net or call 087 7720032 if you can help. Many Thanks
