Rowing – The Queens Regatta

The Queens Regatta took place on 7 May 2016 in Castlewellan, Co Down and it proved to be another hugely successful event for our Rowers.

Our U15 Coxed Quad – Sean Hannon, Conal Regan, Josh Loghrey (all 3^rd Year), Louis Crowe and Matt Smith (Cox) (both 2^nd Year) – won their event beating Portora Boat Club by a canvas.

Conal Regan and Josh Loughrey won the U15 Double Sculls from Portora, Methodist College and our 2^nd crew of Sean Hannon and Louis Crowe.

Our U16 Coxed Quad of Fergal McCluskey, James Gibney, Harry Sharpe, John Fennelly (all 3^rd Year) and MJ Power (Cox) (2^nd Year) came 2^nd in their Heat and finished 6^th in the Final.

Patrick Riordan beat David Drennan (both Transition Year) by a foot in his Heat of the Men’s Single Sculls Event and finished 6^th in the Final.

I congratulate all the boys on their performance and thank Laura Gannon for her commitment to rowing at Blackrock.
