O’Donovan brothers’ rowing club investing in future champs

Olympic medallists Paul and Gary O’Donovan’s rowing club has revealed ambitious expansion plans to ensure a conveyor belt of champions.

Richard Hosford, who, along with Donie Fitzgerald and Danny Murphy, founded Skibbereen Rowing Club in 1969, said it has long dreamt of developing a rowing training pool (the O’Donovans are Ireland’s first Olympic rowing medal winners.)

Mr Hosford said the club hopes the O’Donovan brothers’ success will help leverage funding.
