Lost paddles at Temple Mills I lost a set of Galasport paddles after capsizing at Temple Mills. The paddles are black in colour and have reflective tape at each end where the shaft meets the blade. If anyone comes across it txt me at 087 2838667 pls. Submitted By: Kieran O'Farrell

Liffey Descent 2007 Hello I am trying to locate the race number for Senior K2 race participants in 2007. The crew was Sean O'Neill and Graham Buggy - both Celbridge Paddlers competitors. Unfortunately they did not finish that particular year! Thank you Allison O'Neill 086 8909429 Submitted By: allison ketterick

Results error To whom it concerns, I took part in the Liffey Descent last Saturday. When I finished my race number (255) and time was printed on the notice board as 3:10:00. My friend Lorraine Beirne (389) finished at 3:09:05. We both finish 1min apart in the General purpose entery. I dont want to come across as a complete moan. But my time was published as 3:51:16 on the web. As you can imagine this is causing me abit of stress with the banter in the office and in the club. Can you please have look if there was anyway an error caused? Kind regards Conor McCabe 0857057255 Submitted By: Conor McCabe

Junior Record Sean McCarthy and Adam Sweeney both won gold medals for Junior K2 in this year's Descent. They posted the fastest time ever for Juniors, but have not been credited with the record on the basis that there was not enough entrants in that category. Is this correct and if so, is it fair?

Feedback The exhilaration when I crashed through the stopper on Straffan still upright was amazing! Just a pity that there was one too many waves on Palmerstown. Brilliant day thanks to all the organisers and rescue. Submitted By: Brendan Kane

2009 Feedback HI there, Just two things i wanted to comment on. 1. Carpark - What an improvement! Would be great if you could get the kclub carpark next year,from every aspect i think it helped get the race started quickly and professionally. 2. As a competitor in the Mens Open singles i noticed an even larger amount of Wavehoppers this year,what is the rational behind putting them in GP? Should/Could they have there own class? thanks! Zeb thanks Zeb Submitted By: Zeb Austen

missing result Hello. I was number 263 in the Liffey Descent last Saturday. I was in the Masters GP class. I finished in around 2-53 and was side-by-side with 414. I cannot find my place in the results. Can you tell me why this is? Donal O'Mathuna Submitted By: Donal O'Mathuna
