Round 2 of the Celtic Ross Hotel South West Rowing Championship took place in glorious conditions at Union Hall on Sunday 21 June, with Myross Rowing Club working alongside the Union Hall Regatta Committee to host a superbly organised day.
Rosscarbery results
- 1st: Under 16 Women, Under 14 and Under 16
- 2nd: Under 14 Women (after a photo finish), Under 12, Under 18 and Senior Mixed, plus our Under 14 Men B and Under 14 Women B crews
- 3rd: Under 12 Women, Under 18 Women, Novice Men, Novice Women, Pre-Veteran Men and Pre-Veteran Women
Rosscarbery rowers also raced in composite crews: Noreen won the Masters Women with rowers from Myross, Castletownbere and Kilmacabea, and Tim was second in the Masters Men with Kilmacabea.
Our crews collected podium finishes right through the programme, and The Southern Star described Rosscarbery as one of the strongest all-round clubs in the South West.
The race of the day
The Under 14 Women's race was one of the most memorable of the day. Our crew and Myross battled neck and neck all the way to the line, and it took a photo finish to separate them. The verdict went to Myross by the narrowest of margins. It was a brilliant race and a credit to both crews.
On the water and off it
It was a great day for the whole club, with our ladies' crew also out enjoying the regatta. Kilmacsimon Quay were Club of the Day.
Next up was Round 3 in Baltimore, where Rosscarbery were crowned Club of the Day.
