Strengthening winds forced the suspension of rowing at a rain-sodden National Championships this afternoon, but only after the major events had been completed. Galway crews did well in the second session of the day: St Joseph’s won the junior 18 eights; NUIG’s James Wall and Dave Mannion the senior double scull; Tribesmen the women’s junior four.

We've got a favour to ask
More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven’t put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.
Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full–time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.
