The Cork head of the river rowing event due to be held this Saturday at the Marina in the city has been postponed. The committee decided on this course of action because of the bad weather forecast for this weekend.

“Due to the adverse weather forecast for this weekend, and after getting approval from the Domestic Events committee in RI, Cork City Regatta Committee have decided to postpone Cork Head to the following weekend, Saturday March 7^th, in the interests of safety. Under Rowing Ireland rules, the draw remains in place as is," the organisers said in an email to clubs.
