Silver For Ireland's Edgar and Cooper in Coupe de la Jeunesse Rowing

 ROWING: Ireland took a silver medal at the Coupe de la Jeunesse today in Banyoles in Spain. The Bann/Muckross pair of Brooke Edgar and Aoife Cooper rowed really well in the final 500 metres to press winners Spain and give the crowd something to cheer as the rest of the crews fell off the pace. Italy took the bronze medal.

Ireland also had a fifth placing for the men's quadruple and a sixth for the men's four.
