The Irish team performed superbly in the ultra-competitive Badminton
arena, which was the focal point of Wednesday action here at the 5th
European Transplant & Dialysis Games in Wurzburg, Germany.
The arena was extremely warm, which proved taxing for all players, but
when a long day of competition came to an end, Ireland could boast four
medals – John Cormican, Deirdre Faul, Harry Ward and Mick Dwyer.

players were the undisputed kings and queens of the fairways at the 5th
European Transplant & Dialysis Games in Wurzburg, Germany yesterday – with
the top male and female prizes going to members of the Irish team.
Irish team captain Michael Dwyer missed last year’s World Transplant Games due to a hip replacement operation – but now he’s back better than ever, and resuming his role as the man to rally the troops here in Wurzburg, for the 5th European Transplant & Dialysis Games.
A group of seven athletes, plus the will make up a big Dublin contingent representing Ireland at next week's European Transplant & Dialysis Games, in Wurzburg, Germany – and their main mission is to spread the gospel of organ donation.
Cabinteely man Michael Dwyer will captain Ireland at a major European event later this month - after undergoing a hip replacement and a kidney transplant.
