ROWING: Niall Kenny of UCC headed up a group of lightweight men at the top of the rankings after the 5,000 metre time trial at the second National Assessment in Newry. The top lightweight woman, Siobhan McCrohan also impressed – her percentage of projected world best time was 84.7 to Kenny’s 84.9. The fastest woman of the day was under-23 heavyweight Lisa Dilleen, and the junior women and men set a high standard, with Bridget Jacques and Andrew Griffin topping their classes. Sanita Puspure (ill) and Holly Nixon (injured) could not compete and Shane O’Driscoll and Paul O’Donovan missed out because of a bereavement.
