Cathal Byrd Trains at Na Piarsaigh

Olympic weightlifter, ex Piarsaigh player (under 8), long term friend, and all round nice fellow Cathal Byrd called into the gym today for a bit of training while he is back in his home town. It was great to see Cathal at the gym and the under 16 and under 18 lads that were in at the time were certainly impressed with his lifting! Heres a rare snap of Cathal posing with some light weight and a hurley, hopefully we will see him in again soon.

You can follow Cathal's progress as he aims for glory on the world stage of weightlifting on his blog which is http://howcseezit.blogspot.com....see Cathals post about his visit to the club at http://howcseezit.blogspot.com/2010/06/na-piarsaigh-abu.html


Bhí tógálaí meacháin Oilimpeach, iar Phiarsach (faoi 8), sean chara, agus fear maith, Cathal Byrd istigh sa gym inniú ag déanamh roinnt treanála inniú agus é arais in a chathair dúchais. Bhí sé go hiontach Cathal a fheiceáil istigh sa gym agus is cinnte go ndeachaigh sé i bhfeidhm ar na himreoraí óga a bhí istigh at treanáíl ag an am. Seo pictiúir neamhghnáth de Chathal ag seasamh in aice le roinnt meacháin éadrom agus camán ina lámh aige. Tá siúl agam go bhfeicfidh muid Cathal istigh sa gym arís go luath!

Is féidir siúl a choinneáil ar dhul chun cinn Chathal ar an bhlag http://howcseezit.blogspot.com. Is féidir postáil Chathal faoin cuairt chuig an chumann a fheiceáil anseo http://howcseezit.blogspot.com/2010/06/na-piarsaigh-abu.html
