The 2017 World Rowing Cup series kicks-off in Belgrade tomorrow with most Irish eyes on the O’Donovan brothers, Paul and Gary in the lightweight men’s double sculls. The regatta has attracted rowers from 26 nations, with a number of Rio 2016 Olympic medallists competing.

It’s going to be a busy weekend in Limerick with almost 500 crews from over 70 schools across the country travelling to O’Briens Bridge for Sunday’s Irish Schools Regatta, which follows the Limerick Regatta at the same venue on Saturday.
