Today we had the pleasure of hosting 3/4’s of famous crew from the past for a quick few km’s to blow off the cobwebs. Many of you will recognise the familiar faces of the 2009 Irish Championship silver medal winning quad. The last CAI crew to medal at the Irish Champs.
It was great to catch up and we hope you guys won’t be strangers at the boat house in future!
Congratulations to COBRA member Rachel Bradley on her most recent addition to the medal cabinet. Rachel is competing at Rose Regatta in Shanghai China where she and her Newcastle crew mates came away with the Gold medal!
Remarkable achievement Rachel, well done!

Rachel Bradley and Fergus Bryce both progress to B Finals at the U23 World Championships in St Cathrines, Canada! 🇨🇦
Fergus raced his A/B Semi-Final yesterday afternoon but unfortunately missed out on a place in the A Final by an incredible 0.02 seconds! It was a remarkable race and to miss out on the final like this is simply bad luck, rowing is such an unforgiving sport!
Fergus and Rachel will both race in their respective finals on Friday 23rd August.
Rachel in the U23 Women’s Double sculls races at 14:40 BST.
Fergus in the U23 Mens Quadruple sculls races at 15:05 BST.

Very sad news this morning about a very valued member of the coaching staff. Darren helped many members of the rowing club, at all levels. He was always very cheerful and wanted to get the best out of his athletes.
On behalf of all COBRA members I extend our deepest condolences to Paula, Gemma and Callum.
