On Saturday, over 250 rowers will be taking to the water in either a single scull or a pair, and on Sunday, crews will be formed into double sculls and fours by Rowing Ireland HP management, based from Saturday’s racing.

The water of the Taiscumar Reservoir behind Farran Wood attracted crowds on Saturday as the Irish Rowing Championships took place.

A bumper weekend of racing is in store in Cork as the 2017 Irish Rowing Championships take place at the National Rowing Centre from tomorrow through to Sunday. 

Business leaders in one of Cork’s largest towns will host a special event tomorrow night to celebrate the incredible successes of the National Rowing Centre based nearby.

On a pleasant day, the view from the National Rowing Centre is picture postcard perfection.
