All eyes on University of Limerick as rowing season goes indoors

As the evenings draw in and time on the water is more and more limited, attention turns to indoor rowing and the upcoming Irish Provinces Indoor Rowing Championships. With just one or two Heads of the River (club-run time trials on the water) still to be held before the end of 2016, this is the biggest attraction on the rowing calendar during the winter months.

This pre-Christmas event will be held on Saturday, November 26 in the large and airy UL Sports Arena, on the University of Limerick Campus. The event will hopefully build on several recent Irish Indoor Rowing Championship (IIRC) race series, and will be followed by the big post-Christmas test, the Irish Indoor Rowing Championships in January.

This series of indoor events have brought Irish indoor rowing into the mainstream, drawing the best athletes from around the country to compete for their chosen province.
