#Rowing: Ireland finished third in the repechage of the lightweight women’s double sculls and will compete in the B Final at the European Rowing Championships at Strathclyde in Scotland. Switzerland and Britain took the two A Final places which were on offer, racing clear of the rest of the crews for most of the contest. Aoife Casey and Denise Walsh led the rest, but could not close the gap.
