Wrestling 2015

Caeden and Colm got to wrestle for the first time this year. They had a blast learning moves and enjoyed every minute of the season....... {and they did quite well for their first year too!}

Caeden is on the right in the orange and black

Caeden is in the center of the picture in the orange and black

Colm is on the right in the orange and black

This is a fun picture, both boys happen to be wrestling at the same time - the large mat is divided into 4 squares and there are often 4 matches going on at the same time on each mat - Colm is in the front left corner and Caeden is in the upper right corner, both in orange and black

This is a panorama of one of the gyms.... it's pretty much a madhouse, super loud and crowded ;-) Plus there is usually at least 6-8 matches happening at any given time
