World Cup heroes target title

Declan Colley

Skibbereen's Timmy Harnedy and Eugene Coakley, gold medal winners in the lightweight four crew last weekend, will race in the senior double sculls and will be among the favourites to take another championship title.

Much of the weekend interest, however, will focus on the Men's Senior eights, in which seven crews are entered, including a Lady Victoria BC/QUB BC composite, NUI Galway RC, a Cork BC/Skibbereen RC/UCD BC composite, Neptune RC, Garda Siochána BC, the holders Commercial RC (Dublin) and Lady Elizabeth BC.
