LOCALLY based Urban Barbell Powerlifting Club was named overall winner at the recent National Junior<\/span>\u00a0Championships, while its members secured podium finishes across a range of categories.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>It was a significant achievement for <\/span>our<\/span> athletes and the club as a whole. <\/span>We are also <\/span>the first club outside of Dublin to <\/span>achieve this national recognition,\u201d said club member Emma Keyes.<\/span><\/p>\n

The club<\/span> will <\/span>host upcoming strongwoman and powerlifting competitions in August involving athletes from Limerick and across the country, with growing participation in strength sports locally, particularly among young people and women.<\/span><\/p>\n
