ROSSCARBERY ROWING CLUB
The full story of the club lives across photographs, race programmes, trophies, newspaper cuttings and the memories of the people who were there.
As the club approaches its 40th anniversary, we are bringing that story together. This is a growing history, and we will keep adding to it with the help of members, former members, families and supporters.
1987
The club marks 1987 as its founding year, with the Lagoon in Rosscarbery as its home water. Public association records place Rosscarbery's affiliation with the South West Coast Yawl Rowing Association in 1988. The founding story will be confirmed through club records and member memories.
The story of the Lagoon →1990s
Public South West Coast Yawl Rowing Association records list a series of All-Ireland wins for Rosscarbery across the mid-to-late 1990s. The club is gathering records and stories to build a fuller picture.
2020
Rosscarbery entered the Irish Offshore Rowing Championships for the first time in 2020 and returned with national titles, opening a new chapter in the club's competitive story.
