Having achieved either 1st place, 2nd or 3rd at every category (from junior 12 right up to Masters) at this years National Rowing Championships, Cork Boat Club is once again in a very strong, competitive position.

We would like to thank the following coaches for all of their hard work and dedication throughout the year; John McGrath, Daniel Murphy, Ger Healy, Ger Field, Niamh Parfrey, Terry McGrath, Dan Buckley, Diarmuid Fehily, Pat Peilow, Jim Hal, Mick Maloney, Jennifer Dennehy, John Paul Collins, Martin Kilbane, Frank O'Leary, Nial Duncan, Cormac O'Callaghan, Marie O'Neill, Brian Crean, Stephen Carroll, Brendan Pierce, John Mackey, Emmett Walsh, John McCarthy, Aidan Bugler, Barry Davis, Willie Beakley, Maurice McCarthy and everyone else that helped out.  

With an ever growing number of oarsmen and women we need as many coaches as possible and would very much appreciate the help of any ex-rowers that could offer a day or two every week towards coaching.
