Rowers strike World Cup gold

Gearoid Towey (Neptune), Eugene Coakley (Skibbereen), Richard Archibald (Lady Victoria BC), and Paul Griffin (Muckross) produced a stunning display to win the second leg of the Rowing World Cup in Poznan, Poland.

However, as Griffin explained, their long-term focus remains the World Championships in Eton in late August: “We’re really happy with how we performed, we executed our race plan well. Our middle 1000 metres was really strong, that’s where we burned off the rest of the crews; we’ve been working very hard on that part of our race and it’s really starting to come together now.
