Coláiste Iognáid from Galway won the men’s eights at both under-23 and junior 16 level at the huge Irish Schools’ Regatta at O’Brien’s Bridge on Sunday and came out on top overall of the 72 schools which entered.

The top single sculler on the day was Jack Dorney of St Francis. The big Corkman is set to represent Ireland at junior level this year.

St Brigid’s, Killarney, came home fastest in the women’s under-23 eights and were second best school overall on a cool but sunny day. Coleraine Grammar School took the under-16 eights and had the top under-23 sculler in teenager Molly Curry. The Ulster girl is an outstanding swimmer, and has been an Irish champion at underage level.

Limerick Regatta, at the same venue on Saturday, saw Muckross emerge as the top men’s club eight. Galway Rowing Club won the women’s intermediate eight. Kealan Mannix of the University of Limerick was the top single sculler.
