Ballykissane Coastal Rowing Regatta 2008
Killorglin Rowing Club were well represented at the Ballykissane Coastal Rowing regatta held on a sunny Sunday, July 27th 2008. We came back with 4 wins in all.
A big well done to the girls U12 crew of Kassie, Caoimhe, Cara and Maura who won in great style. They very nearly made it a double in the mixed U12 race but got narrowly pipped on the line by Cromane.

The girls U14 team had a very close race for 3rd place in their race but just got pipped at the line. The U16 boys were rowing well up until the turn when they got into difficulties with some of their oars!

Grey clouds and a heavy thick mist greeted the Killorglin Rowers as they competed in the Ballinskelligs regatta on Sunday. It was time for our coastal boat, the Wild Flower, to hit the waves and we had two crews competing in the boys under 16 and the mens senior events.
