Kilcock Canoe Polo Club

A great time was enjoyed by spectators and paddlers alike this weekend 17th & 18th July 2010 at the Harbour in Kilcock! Three teams came from France for the weekend and enjoyed the hospitality of KCPC so much they want to come back again, but we hope that next time, they will bring some sunshine, as unfortunately there was not a whole lot of it about.

Congratulations to justin Cullinane, Sean Hendrick, Marc Denmead and John McSweeney for being selected for the Irish U21 Men team. They will represent Ireland in Milan at the World Canoe Polo Championships 2010 in September.

The Kilcock Junior Open 2010 was sponsored by Waterways Ireland.
A fantastic day was had by all and the weather was fantastic too!
Kilkenny met Wildwater in the final in the U16 division. Wildwater took gold.
Kilcock and Ballina met in the U14 division and tied for joint first place.
Dads Army from Wildwater won U12's. 2nd place was Noisy Kids and 3rd place was Signets. Every player got a 'goody bag' and it was a very enjoyable, relaxing and fun day for organisers, members and visiting teams alike so everyone is looking forward to the next one!!

Devils played at Docklands last weekend 8th/9th May and after some great canoe polo took third spot. Devils team were:Justin Cullinane, Sean Hendrick, John McSweeney, Marc Denmead, Alan Morgan & George Kosinski.

Demons travelled to Charleroi, Belgium this weekend for competition May 1st & 2nd 2010 accompanied by their Manager Peter Fitzgerald despite his injuries!

They played fantastic canoe polo on Saturday and made it through to the Top 12 (out of 36 teams). On Sunday they won their first match unfortunately they missed out on the next one to get them into the top 4. They did however take 6th place, a great achievement. It also means that they will be seeded in next years competition, which is the first time a team from Ireland, has been seeded in this Internationally renowned competition.

Demons held their own in Calais 10th/11th April 2010! Demons came third, repeating the result of 2009, though this time beating St. Omer in a golden goal quarter final, but losing to Meridian in the semi final. Meridian went on to win the competition.
The lads thoroughly enjoyed competition as always. Demons team was Sean Delaney, Brian Devlin, Gareth Carroll, Declan Phelan, Stephen Davenport, Paddy Mooney, Ciaran & Mark McCormack (capt). Manager: Peter Fitzgerald.
