Muckross Rowing Club had a large contingent of crews competing in the Munster Branch Regatta held at the National Rowing Centre in Cork and the event was the latest in an action-packed season for the club that has already taken in regattas in Limerick, Leitrim and a number of events in Cork. Despite of the demands on their schedule, Muckross enjoyed a very successful outing with three wins, four second place finishes and 11 further crews placing third in race finals.
The club was successful in the Men’s J18B Double event, taking both gold and silver in the final with four crews from the club among the final six.
The other two golds for Muckross were secured in the final of the Men’s J16 Double and the Men’s J14 Quad.
The club is now looking forward to its next regatta, another outing to the National Rowing Centre for the two-day Cork Regatta at the weekend with 28 Muckross crews entered.
The final weekend of June is then among the busiest for the club with the Rowing Ireland 1k Classic in Lough Rynn, Leitrim the top national event for Junior 14-15 and Masters crews on the Saturday while, on the Sunday, the historic Killarney Regatta will see local rivalries renewed in the local contests.
