Rowing – National Indoor Rowing Championships
Our rowers were out in force last Saturday, 21st January, at the National Indoor Rowing Championships held at the University of Limerick. Over thirty Blackrock rowers competed in the event. Three brave parents also took to the challenge and raised money for equipment for the rowing club. These parents have put a lot of time and effort in the weeks leading up to the event to be fully prepared. The results are listed below.
I thank our coaches, Laura Gannon and Niamh O’Mahony for their preparation and organisation of the boys.
