Castleconnell Boat Club Junior crews headed up the Shannon, to compete in the Carrick on Shannon Sprint Regatta last weekend.
Over 170 crews, from 13 clubs from around the country competed in the regatta with events available for all, from Junior 12 to Masters rowing.
Carrick Regatta is raced over 450m and crews enjoy this distance on the Shannon as they wind down from July’s Irish Rowing Championships, which was raced over 2000m at the National Rowing Centre in Cork.
