Newry Assessment Cancelled

15th December 2010

The Five-Kilometre National Assessment fixed for Newry on Sunday has been cancelled. Ireland Rowing performance director Martin McElroy said that the forecast was for very low temperatures in the area and the canal may be frozen.

McElroy said that the ergometer tests at the National Indoor Championships in Dublin City University on Saturday will still function as a selection procedure for the next assessment in February.

The Championships have drawn a big entry, with a schedule running from 9.15 am until the final race, which is fixed for 4pm.
