Irish Rowing Championships Review & Results

Skibbereen claimed two senior titles at the Irish Rowing Championships with Denise Walsh and Aoife Casey winning the women’s pair, while the men’s quadruple held off a late charge by a Queen’s/Portadown composite.

Monika Dukarska of Killorglin won the women’s senior single sculls, dominating the entire race, and Cork Boat Club impressed with a fantastic win in the junior women’s eights.

Trinity were also dominant winners in the men’s novice eights, winning by an incredible 11. Clonmel rower, Daire Lynch, claimed not just the club title, but also the intermediate title, in the men’s single sculls.

Commercial had a convincing win in the men’s intermediate eight. UCD led to half way, just holding off Commercial until the closing stages of the race, but Commercial, stroked by Neil Gahan, moved away and won well in an excellent time.

In the women’s novice eight, Trinity won well, and Lee were commanding in their victory in the women’s intermediate double.

Cork Boat Club won the men’s junior 18 coxed four, taking revenge for a beating by Portora in the junior eight the day before and winning by over six seconds. Emily Hegarty took the junior women’s single by a huge margin, and her Skibbereen clubmates, Mark O’Donovan and Shane O’Driscoll, added to the club’s growing honours list by taking the men’s senior pair.

Commercial are the new Irish Champions of the men’s senior eights after winning a thrilling race during which they were constantly threatened by UCD. In the final 250 metres, UCD made a last effort to catch their Dublin rivals but Commercial persisted and emerged victorious in the finish. The margin was less than a third of a second between the crews in an extremely fast race, with the winning boat completing the 2000m distance in 5.36.892 minutes.

Skibbereen brought their tally of titles for the Irish Rowing Championships to a remarkable 13, with Denise Walsh and Shane O’Driscoll both winning in the lightweight single sculls. Denise was also in the winning women’s senior eight, a composite of Skibbereen and UCC, which claimed the title of Champions of Ireland.  The women’s junior quadruple and the men’s intermediate double titles were also won by Skibbereen.

Marie Piggott of NUIG was a clear winner of the women’s intermediate single, and Cork Boat Club completed a good set of results for them when they won the women’s club eight.

Cork Boat Club’s Amy Mason and Tara Hanlon won the junior pair. Portora won the men’s intermediate pair and NUIG the club coxed four. Commercial led all the way in the women’s intermediate four and had a clearwater margin at the finish.
