🇮🇪HOME INTERNATIONAL REGATTA 2026
Congratulations to our athlete Joe Horan who has been selected for the Irish team for this year’s Home International Regatta in July. We are so proud of this achievement 💪 Thank you to all coaches and volunteers for their support and for making this all possible!

Good luck to all of our athletes who started their exams today. This is the last hurdle, and we can’t wait to see you all back on the water very soon! 💪📚✏️🚣

We are delighted to have on board with us for another season 💪. We couldn’t do what we do without them so a huge thank you for all the support 🚣

OCEAN TO CITY 2026
Congratulations to Fiola Foley and cox Celine Kavanagh who, along with their crew of Vanessa Lawrenson, Paula Moloney, Sheila Clavin, named “Big O” won the veteran women’s competition along with the overall women’s competition at this year’s Ocean to City! The 26 course brought with it, varying conditions which made for a very challenging, but enjoyable event. The crew stayed strong and held off tough competition from a strong Dutch veteran crew, and also managed to put some of the men’s boats under pressure 💪💪
Congratulations and we are all so proud! 🥇

This weekend two Killorglin Masters rowers, Fiola Foley and Celine Kavanagh McCarthy will take part in Ocean to City in Cork. They form part of a crew with rowers from St Michael’s Limerick and will take on the long ‘ocean’ category distance.

An Rás Mór is Ireland’s flagship long-distance rowing and paddling race — part of the Cork Harbour Festival — navigating one of the world’s largest natural harbours before finishing in Cork city centre. With over 640 participants from Ireland and across Europe, it’s one of the biggest days in the rowing calendar.

We’re incredibly proud of both Fiola and Celine for representing the club and flying the Killorglin flag on the water this Saturday. 💪

Beir bua, a chailíní — go n-éirí an bóthar libh! 🏅

Bronze it is! 🥉

Congratulations to Celine Kavanagh for proudly representing the Club in the Women’s Solo event at the recent Swift Masters Sculling Championships.

Celine travelled all the way to Glenarm in Co. Antrim to take on the wild waters of the North Channel - and came home with a well-earned medal.

A fantastic achievement. Well done, Celine!

LIMERICK AND SCHOOL REGATTAS

Following the recent cancellation of Skibbereen Regatta, we’re more than eager to get back on the water this weekend as we compete in a double-header at Limerick Regatta and Schools Regatta, proudly representing both Killorglin Rowing Club and the Intermediate School Killorglin.

Both regattas are run over 1,500m and begin early each morning. The first race for the club is the Women’s Club Double on Saturday at 10:04am, followed by the Women’s U23 Quad at 9:54am on Sunday.

We are especially excited to see two new additions to our crews this weekend. Robyn O’Shea, Mary O’Sullivan, Tasha Donegan, and Mary Kate O'Neill will be taking to the water for their first-ever regatta in the Women’s Junior 13 and Junior 14 categories.
Wishing all crews the very best of luck this weekend, and safe travels to coaches, athletes, and supporters.
