The members of Athlone's Westside Kickboxing Club won seven medals in the All-Ireland Kickboxing Championships in Meath last weekend.
Three gold medals and four silvers were won by the Athlone contingent, and the haul of medals at a major national tournament represents a phenomenal achievement by the Athlone club considering its only been in existence for five months. As well as taking seven medals, Lithunian-born Athlone resident Simas Skatikas also captured the tournament's Best Fighter Award.
