Thank you to Stranraer Coastal rowing club for the invite to take part in your regatta last Saturday. Your hospitality and enthusiasm for the day were outstanding.
To our own club members congratulations on all the medals winners and the achievement of overall winners of the whole day. There were a lot of tired people by the time they got home to bed in Killyleagh but the effort was very much worth it. fansStranraer Coastal Rowing ClubDown Coastal Rowing Association
