Fierce Weather Forces Erne and Cork to Postpone Heads

Trinity's senior eight competes at Erne Head in 2017

#Rowing: The two heads of the river scheduled for this Saturday have fallen foul of the weather, although both are set to be rescheduled. The Erne Head, at Enniskillen, had drawn a top-class entry. But while conditions at Enniskillen might well be rowable on Saturday, travel to the venue, especially on Friday, would prove difficult at best because of snow and high winds. The organisers hope to run the event on March 10^th. Cork Head has also been cancelled, and organisers say the are also hoping to have it held on a new date.

Erne Head Cancelled As Weather Forecast Changes

ROWING: The Erne Head of the River has been cancelled. A radical change in the forecast, with high winds predicted, convinced the organisers that there was a chance that some boats could get into difficulty. The event set for Saturday, was set to be to be the first domestic event of the rowing season – on March 1st. All the other heads of the river have cancelled because of weather-created difficulties.

Rowers Get Green Light At Erne Head But Only in Eights

#ROWING: The Erne Head of the River will go ahead on Saturday at Enniskillen, but with a revised format because of the effects of the recent heavy rains. Only eights will compete and the course will run from Devenish Island against the flow to the Portora boathouse. There will be over 20 safety boats in attendance and flashing blue lights on any perceived hazard.

The event, which was a huge success last year, is set to be opening head of the river of the domestic season.

The Fermoy head of the river, scheduled for March 16th, has fallen to the weather: the high water levels have made it impossible to hold a test run and divers have identified what could be new hazards below the water.
