Success for Arklow crews at World Championships

Last week 9 rowers and 4 supporters from Arklow Rowing Club travelled to Hong Kong for the 2019 World Rowing Coastal Championships. All 6 crews competed in Heats over Friday and Saturday to qualify for Finals on Sunday. The first final on the Sunday was the Ladies Doubles B Final where Andrea Kinsella and Mary Kinsella finished in 4th place followed soon after by fellow Club members Tilly Jordan and Debbie Reid in 5th place. A short while later saw the Arklow Men’s double of John Whooley and Alan Goodison compete in the A Final, finishing in 13th place. In the final race of the day for Arklow, 3 Arklow boats took to the line in the Ladies Singles A Final. Síonna Healy, Xena Jordan, and Mary Ann Kent finished 7th, 12th, and 16th respectively.
​All crews would like to thank all those who have supported them in getting to and competing at these championships.
