Ireland's Adaptive Four Rowers Fifth in A Final

28th May 2011

Ireland’s adaptive coxed four rowers finished fifth in their A Final in the very last race of the programme on the day at the World Cup in Munich. Britain’s top crew won gold despite catching a crab near the line, and their second crew took bronze.

Michael Maher was in the mix for the greater part of a very close B Final of the lightweight single scull. In a hectic final 500 metres, a number of oarsmen made their charges, with Milosz Jankowski of Poland moving swiftly through the field to win well. Maher had to settle for fifth, 11th overall in this class.
