Just a couple of words to wish Rehana and her gang the very best today as she hosts the WUAP world powerlifting championships up in Ballymun.
A few big benchers from overseas on the scene but most of all it was great to see the ladies of all ages from the Mun and beyond lifting along with the youth..and just a quick mention that our Billy Kidd Hercules legend at 81 years young is competing so fairplay to all from all at the Hercules club..
