Cillein Groom competing at last year's competition where he was crowned the winner

A Ballina athlete will be competing to be Ireland’s Strongest Man for the third year in a row.

On Monday, May 5, Cilléin Groom will be one of 16 finalists from all 4 provinces battling it out over five gruelling Ultimate Strongman tests.

Cilléin, known as ‘The Giant Killer’, is aiming for a hat trick of wins but there will be some fierce competition hungry to take his crown.

Groom, a former pupil of St MUredach’s College, recently paid a visit to his alma mater as part of the school’s Careers Fair, where he spoke to students about his journey to the title and his successful career path.

Ireland’s Strongest Man 2025 takes place at Crumlin Road, Belfast at 1pm on Monday, May 5.
