Where: Ireland, Colligan Gorge, Waterford 2008: A new event on the Irish Calendar, the Colligan Gorge Games Boatercross started early on the Saturday morning of the 15th November. There was a massive turnout to the event with competitors from as far as Tasmania. The races started with the individual head to head boatercross with 5 in each heat and only one going through. Some excellent races with a high turnout for all catagories created a great atmosphere and plenty of banter. Junior Mens, Junior Ladies, Mens Sport, Ladies Sport, Mens Expert and Ladies Expert were all fine events. All competitors gave it their all racing down the course. There was a number of obstacles all culminating with a final dash over the Salmon Leap drop to the finish bell. After a brief lunch break, the banter escalated as the team event took off. New obstacles and tasks were added to the course, and team rivalry created much humour at the start line. The finals of the individual events were the last races of the day which saw blood (yup, but it was only a few stitches worth), sweat and sabotage a plenty. With the music pumping and the crowd cheering. All raced for gold, and also to do their best to beach the longer boats. The prize giving saw some excellent prizes including boats, and after a long fun and tiring day, competitors all ran off to don their funniest cartoon character outfits for the party in Waterford.
