#Rowing: The Neptune Head of the River, scheduled for Saturday, November 2^nd, at Blessington Lakes, has been cancelled. The entry was low and the organisers decided not to go ahead. The Castleconnell Head, set for next Saturday, Ocober 2nd, has a huge entry and crews were unlikely to compete in both events.

Castleconnell Head Crews Defy Difficult Wind

#ROWING: A strong, sometimes gusting, wind from the south made conditions difficult at the Castleconnell Head of the River. Crews which went out early in the morning or after 2pm got the best of the weather. The organisers suspended action for approximately an hour from 12.45. There were considerable differences in times depending on when the crews competed. The St Michael's senior eight were the fastest crew, while Sinead Jennings was the fastest women's single sculler.
