Well done to all our athletes and coaches who took part in the Rowing Ireland 1K Classic this weekend at Lough Rinn. Some tough racing saw the boys taking wins in the following categories:

🏅MJ15 1X Odhran Carey
🏅MJ15 2X J Woods / G McKenna

There was also a lot of close racing in the other finals and the race between Odhran & Jack in the scull went right down to the wire.
It was also a great opportunity for the lads to get some racing experience at the start of the season, which is sure to stand them in great stead for the upcoming head season.

Good luck to all our athletes and coaches who are travelling to Lough Rinn this weekend for the Rowing Ireland 1K Classic.

Well done to everyone who took part in the 2026 Swift Junior Irish Coastal Championships this weekend. The lads rowed well but unfortunately couldn't get amongst the medals this year. The competition was fierce with plenty of great racing, and some coastal 'competitiveness 😀' was sometimes enough to knock the lads out of the medal spots. What a great experience though.

Good luck to all our athletes who are rowing with our sister club, Olderfleet Rowing Club, this weekend, at the 2026 Swift Junior Irish Coastal Championships. 💪

What an awesome start to the 2026/27 season. Absolutely perfect conditions saw everyone out on the water enjoying being back in the boats, or for some, getting out for their first proper training session as a rower.

Well done to our Lottery winners for this month.
