119 crews will take part in the second Erne Fours Head of the River this Saturday, November 19.

There are two Heads, the Women’s Head takes place at 11am and the Men’s Head starts at 2pm. The crews will race the 6km course from up past Killyhevlin straight back to the Northridge Boathouse in 10 second intervals.

There are 57 crews in the Women’s Race including eight crews from Enniskillen Royal Boat Club along with crews from Trinity Ladies Boat Club, Queen's University and University of Galway Boat Club among the entry.

The Men’s race has 62 crews, nine from ERBC along with crews from Trinity Boat Club including Luke Paton who rowed with ERBC last season, UCD, Queen's University, St Joseph’s Boat Club, Neptune Rowing Club, Castleconnell Boat Club and Commercial Rowing Club

Derek Holland, Head of Rowing at Enniskillen Royal Boat Club said: "There is a very strong entry for both the Women’s and the Men's races and it will be interesting to see how our crews perform on Saturday against strong competition.

"It is always great to see crews from all over Ireland travelling to Enniskillen to race on Lough Erne. We introduced a Fours Head of the River last year to go along with our Eights Head which has been held in March every year since 1957 apart from a couple of cancellations, most recently due to Covid and we are delighted that it has proven to be just as popular."

Some of the best vantage points to watch the races are the Killyhevlin Hotel, Broadmeadow at Enniskillen Castle and the Round O
