Dalkey Rowing Club

Dalkey Rowing Club is very saddened to hear about the passing of Mickey Comerford.

Dalkey Rowing Club extends our deepest condolences to the family of Michael (Mickey) Comerford who sadly passed away on Sunday. Mickey was an integral part of Dalkey Rowing Club. He was the bowman of the 1975 Senior Men Champion crew. On August bank holiday at the Wicklow regatta we were honoured to have Mickey and the other members of the 1975 crew (Nobby Comerford,David Cunningham, Terrence Keogh & Kevin Carroll) row 50 strokes in the old Malachy skiff that they won in 50 years ago. He will be fondly remebered and missed by his family and friends.

Well done to our 2 winning crews who took home the Open Ladies and Vets Men Trophies for the Cunningham Memorial Row yesterday hosted by Wicklow Rowing Club

A huge congratulations to our 2 Dalkey crews who competed in the Cunningham Memorial Row and took home the Vets Men & Ladies Open trophies 🏆 Big thanks to @wicklowrowingclub for the amazing day

The members of Dalkey Rowing Club would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to the family of Patrick O’Brien who, sadly, passed away last night.

Patrick was a former medal winning member of the Senior Men as well a devoted supporter for many years, sharing his passion with his family—especially with his daughter Saoirse, who has followed in his footsteps and has won many medals for the club in recent years. Our thoughts are with Saoirse and the O’Brien family at this sad time.

A great day out at the Clontarf Yacht & Boat Club regatta. A great day for the club.
