On Saturday, 13 competitors and all their families from Tuam travelled to the Piltown Karate Championships in Kilkenny.
This was the first ever competition for 9 of Faolchú students and the first ever Faolchú Team to travel together to a competition. We were all very excited and there was great curiosity as to what would happen on the day.
There was a large turn out at the event and a good standard of karate on display.
At the event most students entered kata and kumite and carried themselves with pride and etiquette in both victory or defeat. Luckily our losses were few as the Faolchú Team had 11 trophies and medals back to Tuam.
