#ROWING: Metropolitan Regatta, the third leg of the eFlow Go Row League series, was cancelled this morning because of high winds on Blessington Lakes. The organisers suspended racing at 9.15 hoping for a pick-up, but then cancelled because the winds, coming from the north east did not ease off.

The regatta is a huge event. It had an entry of 359 crews and the programme was due to stretch from 8 am until after 7pm this evening.
