#Rowing: Gavan Hennigan has taken over in third in the Atlantic Challenge rowing race. As the race from Europe to the West Indies enters its 10th day, team SouloGav was edging ahead of American Oarsmen, a trio. Remarkably, the Irish solo oarsman now leads all but two boats in the 12-boat fleet. The two leading boats are both fours: Latitude 35, an American boat, and Row For James from Britain. Row for James is named after James Wentworth-Stanley, who took his own life at 21. His brother, Harry leads the crew, which hopes to raise awareness of depression and suicide in young men. Gavan Hennigan is raising money for Cancer Care West and Jigsaw Galway, which supports the mental health and wellbeing of young people in Galway.
