Irish Rowing Championships Set for September 12th and 13th

7th April 2020

UCD's Senior Eight Celebrate winning at the Irish Championships in 2019

The Rowing Ireland working group on Covid-19 has set September 12^th and 13^th as the dates for the Irish Rowing Championships. More regattas might slot into the programme before the rescheduled event, which must be given the greenlight by the Board of Rowing Ireland and by an agm.

The season for Rowing Ireland Coastal and Offshore rowing, both with championships in August, remains suspended.

It is understood that the new Championship dates would allow the event to be pushed back one week in the event of bad weather.

Meanwhile, the calendar of international events for the season continues to contract. The Coupe de la Jeunesse, set for Linz-Ottensheim in Austria on the first weekend of August, has been cancelled.
