On the 13th of August 2023 the Lagan Valley Mens and Ladies Teams made the trek to Tullamore having both qualified for the Division 1 Irish National League Final. This was the first time the club has had both teams qualify for the final since 2003 so it was sure to be a great day.
A tough competition lay ahead for both teams who were up against the best clubs in Ireland and both put up an amazing fight.
The men improved on their round 1 performance by finishing in a brilliant 6th Place overall which is a positive sign of what’s to come in the future.
The ladies excelled themselves in a very close race for the podium, finishing in 2nd place just a few points off the top spot. This is the first time the Ladies have medalled since 2002 and was a very proud day for the club.
Special mention must go to Laura Frey for her organising and amazing performances on the day.
