Rosscarbery's Under 16 crew are Cork county champions after winning their final at the Cork County Coastal Rowing Finals in Castletownshend on Sunday 19 July.
Fifteen clubs from across the county, from West Cork to Cork Harbour, brought more than 150 crews to the village, with Castletownshend Castle overlooking the course. The Southern Star called it one of the most competitive county finals on record, with several races needing more than one look at the photo finish.
Rosscarbery results
- 1st: Under 16 Boys
- 2nd: Under 12 Boys and Under 18 Women
- 3rd: Under 12 Women, Under 14 Boys and Novice Women
Six medals against the best crews in the county, and a county title for the Under 16s, who went on to win the Irish Coastal Rowing Championships a month later.
Rushbrooke Rowing Club were Club of the Day. Thank you to the Castletownshend Regatta Committee for running a superb day from the first race to the last.
