Weekend forecast looks bright for Irish rowers in Munich

Hopes are high ahead of a busy few days in the water at the European Championships. 

FOCUS: Cox, Leah O'Regan with Ireland's Women's Eight team, Fiona Murtagh, Emily Heagarty, Tara Hanlon, Aifric Keogh, Natalie Long, Sanita Puspure, Zoe Hyde yesterday.

When you’ve got it, you’ve got it.

Elite rowing is a punishing combination of mind and matter. Put more than one body into a boat and you can multiply the difficulties of synchronisation on waters that, as with yesterday’s strong winds, can be choppy.
