Limited edition t-shirts bearing the slogan #PullLikeADog have been launched in honour of the Olympic silver medal-winning O’Donovan brothers so that much-needed funds can be raised to upgrade their home rowing club.

Skibbereen: Population: 2,000; 2016 Olympic Silver medal winners: 2; Time it took to win those medals: 6 minutes 31.23 seconds; Amount of celebratory sculling done in the West Cork town last night: Nobody’s business.

The hashtag #Medalsforthewest was trending strongly yesterday as the people of West Cork got over one set of celebrations and got down to preparations for the next in the hope that rowing brothers Gary, 23, and Paul, 22, O’Donovan will continue their success today in the men’s lightweight double sculls.
