Sinead O’Connor represented Ireland at the axe-throwing world championships.

Sinead, the owner of The Rusty Axe in Bundoran, competed in Double Bit Axe Throwing championships in Sweden.

She was one of five competitors flying the flag for Ireland in Sweden among over 200 international throwers, and she trained for the four-day competition by throwing around 100 axes a day

Sineads axe throwing journey began at the Irish Open, when axethrower Heath Dawson lent Sinead her first double-bit axe.

Sinead was ‘instantly hooked’, followed by winning the Best Newcomer Award.

Sinéad was grateful to the Bundoran business community for their sponsorship in getting her to Sweden and to the people of Bundoran for their well wishes.
