COME OUT AND CLAP 👏

Rosscarbery Rowing Club are one of the organisers of Rosscarbery Family Festival. This is the busiest week for the Club but they still work and give back to the Community. At the start of the Festival Week the SW Championship finishes in Schull an then the National Coastal Championship has taken place this weekend in Farren National Rowing Centre. Between Sunday to Sunday, the Club has stewarded many events including the ‘Give Rowing a Go!’, The Sandcastle Competion and The Beat on the Street and yet managed to fit in prep. and training for the National Coastal Rowing Championships. This Club deserves a huge ‘Welcome Home’ this evening on their wonderful achievements in both underage and adult. Congratulations to all the crews, committee and supporters, ye have done Rosscarbery proud.
