To add to the excitement of the weekend, the club’s gymnasts shared the joy of Gymnastics Ireland star Rhys McClenaghan during the historic moment when he became the first ever Irish world champion on pommel horse during the apparatus finals in the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool for the 2022 World Championships.
