Irish rowers performing well in World Cup

Skibbereen talent Timmy Harnedy has made a telling breakthrough in sculling circles at the World Cup in Munich this morning, stroking brilliantly through to the A final of the lightweight singles.

The 21-year-old, a member of the Olympic-qualified lightweight fours, has gone solo this week and following in the foot steps of double World Champion Sam Lynch, claimed second behind Hungarian Peter Loerinczy in 7:11.00 to claim a spot in tomorrow's élite final.
