Ten-year-old Offaly karting prodigy sponsored by local firm

A talented 10-year-old Offaly boy, Arthur Wellington, who has shown a lot of promise in karting despite only taking up the sport one year ago, is the latest sports sponsorship undertaken by KMK Metals Recycling in Tullamore.

Since starting out, Arthur, from Mountbolus, has progressed each time he tests and races, improving his lap time and overall performance. 

At present, he is being coached and managed by Sean Spratt of Spratt Racing, a Meath-based racing team. 

Arthur has just completed the last leg of Leinster Winter Championships finishing 4th last Sunday, March 5 and is now awaiting confirmation of his ranking for the full season. 

He is now in preparation for the start of Leinster Summer Championships beginning April 3rd. In the meantime, he will continue testing in preparation.

Arthur joins boxer Grainne Walsh, cyclist Ellen McDermott, Cappincur GAA club, Spartacus Boxing Club and Tullamore Ladies Gaelic Football club, as part of KMK Metals Recycling’s local sponsorship portfolio.
