Large crowds gathered at the event at Tim Smyth Park in Ennis this afternoon, which this year saw around 200 competitors taking part.
The record set by John O'Dea from two years ago, still hasn't been beaten, with John Leahy of Ennistymon coming close and winning the overall event today with a distance of 8 meters 25.
The sixth annual event is a novel way to turn Christmas tree recycling into a sport, while at the same time raising funds for a worthy cause, with this year’s proceeds going to Rape Crisis Midwest.
