Limerick and School Regattas April 2024

Our next destination is O’Brien’s Bridge in Co. Clare, promising a busy weekend filled with thrilling races over the two days!

On Saturday, April 20th, our rowers will race in the Limerick Regatta, focusing solely on the junior 16 categories in men’s and women’s quads and doubles. Due to the high volume of entries, all small boat entries have regrettably been withdrawn.

The excitement continues the following day, Sunday, as our athletes don the colours of their respective schools – Intermediate School Killorglin and Presentation School Milltown. Throughout the day, we will see a multitude of small boats in competition, showcasing numerous scullers and doubles (from J14 to U23), as well as the junior 15 and 16 quads. All races will cover a distance of 1,500 meters with four crews competing at a time.

Stay tuned for racing results, which can be found here: https://docs.google.com/…/1zj1XR59KzAaui…/edit…

A huge thank you to Localsolicitor for their continuous support! Let’s kick off the 2024 season with a bang!

Happy Mother’s Day to All Marvelous Moms!

Today, we honor every mother’s love, resilience, and endless support, with a special shout-out to the incredible mothers of our rowers at the club.

Your dedication is unparalleled, from the extra cooking to meet our athletes’ nutritional needs, to those early morning drives for practice and events, and managing the never-ending piles of laundry. Your role in raising athletes is invaluable.

To the mothers who stand by the riverbanks in all kinds of weather, who cheer the loudest, and who are always there with a comforting hug and a motivational word, we see you and we appreciate you. Your behind-the-scenes efforts make all the difference in shaping our rowers not just into athletes, but into the next generation of performers, leaders, team players, friends, and champions in every sense of the word.

Thank you for your sacrifices and for being the steadfast pillar behind our athletes’ successes. You’re not just raising sports enthusiasts but well-rounded individuals ready to make a mark in the world!!

Here’s to celebrating you, the unsung heroes, whose support creates champions. May your day be filled with the love and appreciation you deserve.

Happy Mother’s Day from all at Killorglin Rowing Club!

MUNSTER SCHOOL BLITZ ROWING COMPETITION

Congratulations to Nadia Wysocka, Ava O’Sullivan, and Chloe O’Sullivan for their outstanding performance at the Munster Schools Blitz held at the University of Limerick today. Competing on behalf of Presentation Secondary School Milltown, the girls triumphed in their relay event, showcasing exceptional teamwork and skill. A job exceptionally well done!

Furthermore, the girls had the unique opportunity to meet the Kenny McDonals from Shannon RC. As a recent achiever of remarkable success at both the European & World Indoor Rowing Championships in Prague, where he secured two World Gold Medals and two European Gold medals in the LM 50-54 2000m and 500m events, his presence was truly inspirational.

Kudos to Nadia, Ava, and Chloe once again for representing their school with such distinction and bringing home the victory. Your hard work and dedication have certainly paid off!
