Six Irish boats in the mix for medals at European Rowing Championships A-finals

In the women’s four, Eimear Lambe, Tara Hanlon, Fiona Murtagh and Aifric Keogh finished in third place behind Denmark and the Netherlands, their time 6:40.26 also plenty good for Saturday’s final.

Siobhán McCrohan of Tribesmen Rowing Club had a fine morning, winning the repechage of the lightweight women’s scull. Leading from the first stroke, she powered down the 2km course, taking a qualifying position for the A final without any doubt, finishing three seconds clear of Switzerland’s Eline Rol. On Sunday she’ll be fighting for the medals against Romania, Greece, Czech Republic, Turkey and Switzerland.

There were only two spots up for grabs, Netherlands and Switzerland coming out on top, the Irish crew slipping to fourth, Ukraine ahead by just .07 of a second.
