Skibbereen man Mark O’Donovan took two of the inaugural national sculls titles at the Skibbereen head of the river at the National Rowing Centre. The 21-year-old, who headed the lightweight rankings at the National trials last weekend, won the single sculls and partnered Richard Coakley to take the double sculls. Sheila Clavin of St Michael’s matched O’Donovan in the women’s competition, winning the single and teaming up with Dympna Kelly of Carrick-on-Shannon to take the doubles crown.
