The Senior crews from Enniskillen Royal Boat Club were competing at the Skibbereen Grand League Regatta at the National Rowing Centre in Cork last weekend.
There was a great win for the boys in the Junior Coxed Fours on Saturday afternoon when Tom Blake, Marcus Davis-Kunze, Tim Murphy, Charlie Smith and Cox Grace Ralph competed the 2km course in a time of 6.44.86 – almost seven seconds over the crew from St. Joseph’s, Galway.
The boys’ eight of Tom Blake, Lewis Nixon, Charlie Smith, Tim Murphy, Nathan Kelly, Oran Harty, Marcus Davis Kunze, Luke Paton and Cox Frankie Rehill won the Club Eights in a time of 6.03.54, and also took the Mens’ Club Coxed Four win in 6.57.55.
Chloe Thompson, Laura Turner, Niamh and Acorn Cassidy took the Girls’ Junior Coxless Four win in 7.31.39 over Cork BC and Colaiste Iognaid, and they had a fantastic race in the Women’s Eights in a great time of 6.48.74.
Next up for the junior crews is Athlone Regatta on May 14.
After that, two junior crews and the senior boys will head off to race at National Schools Regatta at Eton Dorney at the end of the month.
