Colaiste Iognaid’s junior men’s eight finished second in their class at the Ghent rowing regatta in Belgium. An Irish crew, Cork Boat Club, also won the junior women’s eight – but this was a certainty. The three crews competing were all Irish – a Methody/Offaly combination was second and Colaiste Iognaid were third.
