Best of luck to Team Ireland!

Best of luck to Team Ireland at the Games of XXX Olympiad in London.

With the opening ceremony tonight, the Olympic games are about to well and truly kick-off in London. The men and women's football matches we've seen over the last two days have been a nice prelude, but now it's time for the more traditional events to take centre stage.
Team Ireland begins it's Olympic campaign today aswell. First up is Lisa Kearney from Belfast, who'll be competing in the Women's -48kg Judo competition. Sanita Puspure will be representing us in the heats of the Women's Singles Sculls rowing event, and last but not least, Dubliner Barry Murphy, will be competing in the heats for the Men's 100m Breaststroke swimming event.

All of our competitors have done themselves and their country proud just be qualifying for these games. Hopefully they can bring home a few medals with them too!
