dodge 710 Posted April 12 #121 Share Posted April 12 Squad announcement for world athletics relays Our big names all there on the women’s sides including Adeleke, Mawdsley, Healy and Becker. Interestingly Becker only listed as reserve for the mixed. The men include Tom Barr, Cillin Greene and Jack Raftery. Stalwart of the mixed team Chris O’Donnell is only listed as a travelling reserve No Men’s team so we have 4 men and 7 women travelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge 710 Posted April 14 #122 Share Posted April 14 So far today in the rowing finals; Keogh/Murtagh silver behind the Dutch. They looked OK so probably still in the top 4/5 but without Australia and Romania we won’t know if they’re likely to contend for a medal yet Doyle/Lynch went off very slow but had an insane finish to grab bronze. They’ll need to be more consistent to challenge in Paris The women’s four were miles off two GB boats and finished in 4th as the Dutch eased away. Still a good regatta for them though and I’m more confident they’ll qualify now Timoney/Corrigan win the B final and let’s hope the illness/injury is behind them Oldira 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodge 710 Posted April 22 #124 Share Posted April 22 Rowing team for the European champs Lightweight double Paul O’Donovan/Fintan McCarthy lightweight single Jake McCarthy openweight single Paul O’Donovan (!) lightweight single Mags Cremen Openweight double Zoe Hyde/Alison Bergin Aoife Casey isn’t fit. Hyde was injured for World Cup 1 so they’re in here It’ll be interesting to see if POD does the heavyweight single and the LW double… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duineeile 0 Posted April 23 #125 Share Posted April 23 Why don't Ireland ever enter the European qualification regatta? Is it a case of 'If they can't do it via final qualifier then they're not good enough?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a case of 'If they can't do it via final qualifier then they're not good enough?' The continental qualifier is only open to nations that qualified 0 or 1 boat at the World Championships. Ireland qualified 6 boats there so we aren’t eligible to compete. Edited April 23 by OlympicIRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul still down for the heavyweight singles Ogreman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge 710 Posted April 24 #129 Share Posted April 24 Confirmed by Fintan that he’s not 100%. Same with Aoife Casey. I’m told it’s not serious and there’s no worries for the rest of the season OlympicIRL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
