Lucky 13 for super Skibbereen at Irish Rowing Championships

Skibbereen claimed a staggering 13 titles at the Irish Rowing Championships with Denise Walsh and Shane O’Driscoll both winning in the lightweight single sculls at Inniscarra yesterday.

Walsh was also in the winning women’s senior eights, a composite of Skibbereen and University College Cork, which also visited the podium later in the day. The women’s junior quadruple and the men’s intermediate double titles were also won by Skibbereen.

Marie Piggott of NUI Galway won the women’s intermediate single while Cork Boat Club landed the women’s club eight crown.
