Ireland wins medal in Rowing World Cup

Ireland has won its first medal, bronze, at the Rowing World Cup this year thanks to a superb performance from the ever improving Orlagh Duddy in the non-Olympic lightweight single scull.

In the highly competitive final of the Olympic class men’s heavyweight four, the Irish crew of Alan Martin, Sean Casey, Cormac Folan and Sean O’Neill rowed well to place a pleasing fifth.
