When the people of county Clare heard about the practice of throwing away old Christmas trees, they took it rather literally.
As such, Sunday saw the fourth annual installment of the Irish Christmas Tree Throwing Championships taking place in Active Ennis Tim Smyth Park.
Admittedly, the competition holds the moniker of ‘Irish’ championships by virtue of the fact that it is the only one on the island. That said, the novel event has continued to grow in stature since its inception in 2012, with upwards of 200 contestants having a fling last January.
“Men, women and children are all involved,” said Tim Forde, general manager of Active Ennis Sports and Leisure Facilities.
