Killarney

<h3>A special evening of nostalgia and history was held at Muckross Rowing Club on Friday night.</h3>
It was the occasion of the 50th anniversary honouring the winners of the Killarney Regatta Senior four-oar race of 1972.
The crew welcomed back Donie Cronin who resides in Australia.
The original photo was replicated for old times sakes and includes John Lyne, Kathleen Murphy who was standing in for J O’Shea&nbsp;(Cox), Denis Horan, Donie Cronin and Pat Casey.
Rowing historian John Beazley gave the citation of the historical day in 1972. The presentation cup dates back to 1886, known as the ‘Great Southern &amp; Western Railway Hotel Cup’ and includes the first winners of that year &#8211; ‘The Drapers’ (Commercial Rowing Club) and&nbsp;every rowing club in Killarney has its name inscribed since the cup&#8217;s inception over 136 years ago.
Family members of the crew were joined by Past Vice-Presidents, Dan Kelleher, Ulick Daly, Pat Casey and Gerry Murphy.
