Eimear Lambe has already followed in her older sister’s footsteps by qualifying for an Olympic final but there is a burgeoning hope that the women’s four crew of which she is part can trump that achievement by claiming some silverware.

Lambe, Aifric Keogh, Fiona Murtagh, and Emily Hegarty clocked in with a deeply impressive display on Saturday in their heat at Sea Forest Waterway and they will hope to set a tone that the rest of the Irish crews can follow when racing resumes tomorrow.
