#Rowing: The Cork Head of the River will be held this Sunday, March 3rd. The organisers decided to postpone the event by one day because of the adverse weather forecast for Saturday. The 4km event from Horgan’s Quay to Blackrock Castle will hold to the times set for Saturday.

 The indications are that the Erne Head in Enniskillen will go ahead on Saturday.
