Junior members of Muckross Rowing Club were delighted to take part in a training day recently to fine-tune their skills for upcoming events.
Beginner to Junior 18 members competed in 19 races. The 500m sprints were held in octuples, quads and doubles.
“Taking part in this sprint regatta will help Junior Members prepare for upcoming regattas which are hoped to take place this summer,” Shóna O’Sullivan said.
“Those racing were cheered on by their fellow teammates at the Garden Quays. The races were exciting to watch, especially the races that ended in a photo finish.”
The competitors refuelled with a barbecue cooked by Bernie and Seamus O’Sullivan, she added.
“Thanks to Bernie, Seamus, all coaches and committee members that helped this training session run successfully in accordance with COVID-19 guidelines.”
On the same day, Seán Daly Chairperson of Muckross Rowing Club presented Jane and Lila Ryan with Honorary Associated Membership for their generous contribution of €500 to the club.
“Our rowing club are extremely grateful for their generosity.”
