St Patrick’s Rowing Club in Ringsend scored their first win of the 2022 season in the Boyne Boat Race in Drogheda last Sunday (1 May).

The top result from one of two crews fielded in the event will set the club in good stead for their hosting of this weekend's Liffey City Currach Regatta, as reported on Afloat.ie HERE.
