LIMERICK SKATEBOARD CHAMPION DEFENDS HIS NAITONAL TITLE
22 August 2009Limerick skateboard champion Cian Eades will defend his national title against top class competition at the All Ireland Skate Championships taking place in the city later today.
The competition has got the go ahead from organisers who had concerns that wet weather could force the postponement of the event at Mount Kennett Skate Park.
Qualifying events took place in Dublin, Belfast, Waterford, Gorey and Cork and the winners have been arriving in Limerick since last night ahead of today's finals at 2pm.
Organisers are promising this years competition to be even bigger and better than last years which also took place at the Limerick City Skatepark
19 year old Cian is looking forward to defending on home turf:
"It's great publicity for Limerick because years ago we didn't have any skate parks. Dublin always had facilities, even indoor facilities, they always had competitions where as in Limerick we never had anything. Years ago we used to stuff down at George's Quay, little competitions and demonstrations but now since we have this we're able to properly host major competitions. Since this is the second year, its going to be pretty good, a good turn-out and a nice after party"
