26th September 2010

Skibbereen rounded off a weekend in which they won 10 national titles with a terrific victory in the men’s senior quadruple scull at the National Rowing Championships in Cork. They had just .4 of a second to spare over a composite of St Michael’s and UCD. In the evening session, Shane O’Driscoll and Paul O’Donovan also won the junior doubles title for the west Cork club and Denise Walsh and Shelly Dinneen took the women’s junior double.

The women’s senior quadruple scull went to a composite of Sanita Puspure, Lisa Dilleen, Alice O’Sullivan and Monika Dukarska while Kerry clubs Muckross and Killorglin took the men’s novice single scull and the women’s intermediate double scull.
