Potato/Patato but as far as I'm aware Darragh still represents Next Gen, but I guess the internet doesn't lie.

But good luck to all regardless of affiliation, Lets hope the categories are stacked for such a big commitment from the Irish.

bjj-fighter

Yeah maybe he does, maybe it's both. I just copied the list that John had on facebook.

SBG Ireland

best of luck to all the guys representing Ireland

As the senior members of the Irish contingent Liam and Andy are going to select the teams.

Glad to hear the lads got out. I'm looking at the AerLingus site constantly but I'm not out til tomorrow so I might get away with it.

thats ****ing gas, 3 times he spiked him, and the look of pure innocence after it is brilliant.

Gives me a bit of hope!

Great weekend at the Euro's !

Managed to get to the finals. Lost out by 2 points for the sweep, in the final. Ah well no harm , Proud I got to bring home the Silver for the Team.
. vid's and photos on the way.

Was great to see all the Irish bodies at the Euro's , everyone fought brilliantly and gave it their all & the Craic was Mighty!

Some amazing talent there to watch as well.

I didn't see her there. But I missed the women's divisions bar the black belt finals. Well done Olga too.

Savage weekend of BJJ. All of the Irish lads were very competitive and maybe with a bit more nous on how to play the referee for advantages one or two might have gone a bit further.

Standout for me was Liam acting like Scooby Doo ghoul and motoring through everyone on his way to the brown belt final. The final was so close too and was decided by one sweep right at the death. Also Paddy Carmody simultaneously fighting and refereeing I didn't think it was possible .

I didn't get to see the Black belt divisions as a whole but got to see the finals. Wasn't too happy with some of the brackets being closed but Braulio Estime vs Sergio Moraes was a great match (Braulio took it)

FIRST Olga Lyashevska BJJ Revolution Team
may actually be a different olga
