Connacht Rugby star Clara Barrett won the coveted ladies arm wrestling competition at the annual Geesala Festival.
Barrett, a native of Geesala, scooped the ladies prize at the popular local festival.
The Irish senior international was nominated for the Connacht Rugby Senior Women’s Player of the Year award this year and her work on the rugby field clearly paid dividends at home.
Ronan ‘Crazy Horse’ Gaughan came back to regain his men’s title after a three-year absence, defeating Brendan Sweeney in the final.
The finals were witnessed by thousands while the annual Geesala Races were a great success as well. Gerry Coyle and all the organisers are congratulated on another great festival.
