This was the climax of the junior rowing season and it ended on an incredible high. Many thanks to all the coaches who trained the rowers throughout the year to prepare them for this event and to the parents who travelled to Lough Rinn to support the athletes.
The senior crews will compete at the Irish Championships at National Rowing Centre from Friday 11th – Sunday 13th July.
