Ballina man delighted with relay team's performance

Tipperary's Finn McGeever was on the Irish Men's Freestyle Relay team that finished seventh in the 4 x 200 metres final at the European Aquatic Championships in Belgrade, Serbia yesterday.

The quartet, which also included Evan Bailey, Cormac Rynn and Jack Cassin, put in an excellent performance, coming home quicker than their morning swim (7:18.71) in 7:17.97 to place seventh in Europe.

Ballina swimmer McGeever stated "I’m delighted with that; we moved it on again tonight and got a faster time overall so I’m really happy. I sound like a broken record but I’m just really proud of the young lads that are here today," he told Swim Ireland.
