National Championships
This year's national championships attracted a huge entry ranging from the elite Olymian rowers down to under 14 rowers who were taking part in their first champs. The large crowds were treated to three exciting days of racing with the highlight being the mens senior eight which saw Commercial just edge out Skibbereen and NUI Galway in a really thrilling race.
The Jes brought a large squad of over 60 rowers who competed in 25 different events. Our highlights included wins for two of our scullers - Tom Maye in the boys J14 and Ellen Forde in the girls J15 event. Another big highlight for the Jes over the weekend was the bronze medal performance of the girls junior coxless four crew. The successful crew was Caoileann NicDhonncha, Laoise NiGhriofa, Roisin Gavin and Ciara Walsh - a great performance from a young group of girls and most of them will be back next year and hopefully can go even better.

Ellen Forde took the honours in the girls J15 scull (above) and Tom Maye had a win in the boys J14 scull (below)
Despite some other strong performances, including several second place finishes, our rowers did not manage to pick up and further medals. A notable feature of the Jes entry this year was the fact that we had eights taking part in six different races - J18, J16 and J15 in both girls and boys. This is indicative of the strength in depth of both the boys and girls squads in the club.

So the curtain comes down on another great season of rowing from the Jes that saw some lows and many highs for the club. Our rowers can look back with pride in the way that they conducted themselves both on and off the water. As always, a big word of thanks goes to our volunteer coaches who put so much time and effort into the training of our rowers and also to the parents and other supporters of the club who assisted in so many ways.
Cork Regatta
This was another very big regatta this year, possibly boosted by the appearance of the Olympic medalist O'Donovan brothers and a host of other leading Irish international rowers. The stars did not disappoint with some superb racing from the O'Donovans in both the single sculls (where Paul had the better of his brother Gary) and in the double sculls.
The Jes brought a large squad of 55 rowers to Cork, including the first years who were getting their first taste of rowing at the NRC. A feature of the Jes entry was the large number of eights, with crews taking part in six different competitions - probably the first time that the Jes had six different crews. They certainly did not disappoint, with one win and four second place finishes in the eights. The win came in the boys J15 race where the Jes came from behind to edge out the St. Michaels crew in a very exciting finish. The winning crew was Dylan Finan, Aaron Burke, Mark Ward, Oliver Kelly, Alex Morales-Glynn, Eamon OTuathail, Niall Cahalan, Gavin Dempsey and Paul Tannian(cox).
While that ws the only Jes win over the weekend, the club did have a total of ten second place finishes. With a little bit of luck, hopefully some of these can be turned into 1st place finishes at champs in a few weeks.

Galway & Athlone Regattas
The weekend of June 17, 18 was another very busy one for the Jes rowers. On the Saturday, the J14s and J15s went to Athlone while on Sunday, it was the home regatta at Dangan - always a very enjoyable occasion. This year, we had great weather for both days and this certainly added to the occasion.
Galway Regatta
There were some great highlights from a very exciting day of rowing at this year's Galway regatta. The Jes girls were entered for the senior eight and took on local rival from Galway rowing club. The young Jes crew rose to the challenge against their experienced rivals and it turned out to be one of the most exciting races of the day. Despite being down by almost a length at one stage, the Jes girls battled back and just got up on the line to take the victory by the very narrowest of margins. The Jes crew was The girls crew who won both the senior eight and the J18 eight (l to r): Katie Ryan, Rachel Trench, Ciara Walsh, Roisin Gavin, Laoise NiGhriofa, Sarah Curtis, Elise Carney-Frazier, Caoileann NicDhonncha and Roisin McGrath (cox). Later in the afternoon, the same Jes crew took on Galway again at the J18 level with the Jes again prevailing in this race. The Jes then completed a clean sweep in the ladies eights by also coming out on top in the J16 eight.

The J16 boys continued their really good season with another very clear win in their eight over the Bish. The winning crew was Niall Cahalan, Daire Elberse, Luke Flynn, Eamon O Tuathail, Thomas Hume, Sam Reidy, Tom Kavanagh, Tom McGuinness and Fionn Ryan (cox). However, there was disappointment for the J18 boys as they missed out in the Anderson by a couple of lengths.

In the girls J16 scull, there was a very good win for Ellen Forde. There was also a sculling with at J15 where Amy O'Gorman had another win. Amy also teamed up with Lanah Acton in the J15 double and again they took the honours.

The first years also got onto the winners podium. Firstly it was the J14 girls who beat Colaiste na Corribe in the final and not to be outdone, the J14 boys were also on the winners podium after their race.

Lough Rynn Regatta
The Jes travelled to Co. Leitrim again this year for the Lough Rynn Regatta. A large number of clubs were in attendance and this led to some great racing at this excellent rowing venue. It was a very long day for the Jes rowers with our first crews on the water soon after 8.00am and racing continued until 6.00pm. The weather on the day was challenging, particularly when the wind picked up in the afternoon. While this did result in some races being cancelled, it did not affect many of the Jes crews.
Fresh from their dead heat in Castleconnellthe previous week, the J15 boys eight had another outstanding row. They took the honours with a very convincing win over a highly competitive field. The winning crew was Dylan Finan, Aaron deBurca, Alex Morales-Glynn, Oliver Kelly, Mark Ward, Eamon OTuathail, Niall Cahalan, Gavin Dempsey and Paul Tannian(cox). Four of that crew then went on to win in the J15 quad. They were Alex Morales, Oliver Kelly, Gavin Dempsey, Niall Cahalan and Paul Tannian (cox).

Relaxing between races
Castleconnell Regatta
Colaiste Iognaid Rowing Club had a very successful trip to Castleconnell County Limerick on Saturday 6th of May. The well attended regatta concentrated mainly on underage rowing with a record entry of 420 crews and the Jes brought its under fourteen and fifteen rowers only.
The Jes recorded eight wins and many good performances for their crews coached by Luke Sheridan, Alex Burke, Kai McGlacken and David Young. The best race of the day saw the Jes under 15 boys eight deadheat for first with St Michaels RC, Limerick in the under 15 eights final. It was only the second time that the boys had raced in the eight.

Limerick, Schools Regattas
The Limerick and Schools Regattas took place at O'Briens bridge on April 22nd, 23rd and the Jes had full crews at both events. So it was a very busy weekend for the Jes as the crews travelled up and down on both days. It was also the first time at a regatta for the first year rowers and they put in some very fine performances.
The Schools regatta attracted the largest every entry with almost 500 crews representing 70 schools from all four provinces. Over the weekend, the Jes crews had five wins with most of these coming in eights. The boys J16 eight did the double by winning at both regattas. For the girls J16 eight, it was a case of three in a row at the Schools Regatta as they have now taken the honours in that race for the last three years - a tremendous achievement given the level of competition at the regatta.

Skibbereen Regatta
The Skibbereen Regatta was the first major event in the 2017 rowing calendar and it brought a very large crowd to the National Rowing Centre in Cork. It attracted almost 2000 athletes from all parts of the country with a notable feature being the appearance of the Olympic medallist O’Donovan brothers, along with a host of other Olympian and international level competitors.
A particular highlight for the girls crews was meeting with the O'Donovan brothers. As the photo below shows, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.
It turned out to be a tremendous weekend for the Colaiste Iognaid rowers on the water and included wins in the three of the four races for eights at the under-age level. The first of these wins came in the boys J16 8+ where the Jes rowers continued their good form from earlier in the season with a convincing win. The successful crew was Niall Cahalan, Daire Elberse, Tom Kavanagh, Eamon OTuathail, Thomas Hume, Sam Reidy, Luke Flynn, Tom McGuinness and Fionn Ryan (cox). Not to be outdone, the girls J16 8+, featuring a very young crew, came through very strongly in their final to take the honours. The J16 crew was Lanah Acton, Roisin McGrath, Katie Ryan, Ellen Forde, Amy O’Gorman, Kate Hume, Elise Carney-Frazier, Isabelle Gannon and Aoibhinn McPhillips (cox).

The crew was made up of Molly Curtis, Sarah Curtis, Katie Ryan, Rachel Trench, Laoise NiGhriofa, Roisin Gavin, Ciara Walsh, Caoileann NicDhonncha and Aoibhinn McPhillips (cox). The other win for the Jes at the regatta came in the girls J18 single scull. Here Caoileann NicDhonncha outshone some stiff opposition to take the girls sculling title. There were also strong performances from Jes crews in some of the other races so there is much to look forward to as the summer regatta season approaches.

St Michaels Head of the River
The rescheduled St Michaels Head took place on Saturday, March 18th at OBriens Bridge. The Jes took a large squad of 61 rowers to this, the first event on the water in 2017.
On the day, there were three wins for the Jes rowers. The boys J16 8+ had a very good victory in their first race over the season where they got the better of a number of Pres crews. The winning eight was Niall Cahalan (bow), Tom Kavanagh, Liam Carton, Eamon OTuathail, Thomas Hums, Sam Reidy, Luke Flynn, Tom McGuinness and Fionn Ryan (cox). Elsewhere in sculling, Caoileann NicDhonncha continued her good form from last year and, despite stepping up to J18, she took the honours over a competitive field. In the boys J15 scull, Aaron deBurca crossed the line in first place.
We didn't get many photos from this Head but we should have more from future events.

Indoor Rowing
Over the winter months, the Jes rowers took part in a number of indoor rowing competitions. There was the Get Going Get Rowing indoor blitz in Trinity for the younger rowers on November 11th. There was also the Irish Indoor Rowing competition at UL on January 21st.
The 1st year rowers at a great day at the Trinity blitz with very strong performances from both the boys and girls crews. For the boys, it was 1st place in the under 14 relay who took the honours against 21 crews from all parts of Ireland. A picture of a very happy winning crew follows below.
Head of the Shannon
In December, the Jes rowers headed north to Carrick-on-Shannon for the Head of the Shannon. Only the senior rowers went to this Head and, despite a very cold day, it proved to be an enjoyable day out with the town centre location adding to the athmosphere. The Jes did have a number of wins on the day including teh boys J15 8+ who got the better of Portora.
A number of photos follow below.

Castleconnell Head of the River
This year again, the first event of the year for the Jes was the Castleconnell Head of the River. A very large team travelled for this – 66 rowers including 25 first years. It was an extremely enjoyable day with excellent rowing conditions and the younger rowers in particular got some good opportunities to take to the water for competitive experience.
Some of the 1st year boys getting their boat ready for racing
There were plenty of very good performances from the Jes rowers, although as it was an early season event, it was very much about trying out new crew combinations. The Jes did pick up three wins and interestingly they all came in the eights. The boys J18 eight had a convincing win in their category. This was a very good performance in a boat that was a mixture of last year’s crew (five) with three younger under 16 rowers. The full crew was Tom Kavanagh, Sam Reidy, Thomas Hume, Brian Maye, Daragh Coen, Philip Buckley, Seamus O'Donoghue, Mark Ryder and Fionn Ryan (cox).
The girls J18 eight was also victorious with four from last year’s senior cohort and the remainder from the 2016 J16 crew. Their time was the third fastest for all ladies crews on the day and it was tremendous to see such a strong result from this group of girls. The boat consisted of Holly McHugh, Roisin Gavin, Molly Curtis, Rachel O'Malley-Raecke, Ciara Walsh, Laoise NiGhriofa, Elise Carney-Frazier, Sarah Curtis and Aoibhinn McPhillips (cox)
Another extremely encouraging result came in the boys J15 eight. For many of them, it was their first time racing in an eight and this boat also took the win. The crew was Dara Elbers, Niall Cahalan, Liam Carton, Sam Reidy, Thomas Hume, Tom Kavanagh, Luke Flynn, Tom McGuinness and Fionn Ryan(cox).
Elsewhere, there were some highly impressive 2nd place finishes in the girls J18 coxless quad, the girls J16 quad and the boys J14 quad. It was also great to see so many 1st years row for the first time in Castleconnell. They seemed to enjoy themselves very much – two octs with the girls and two octs with the boys.
Finally, the club had two rowers qualify for the Bulls vs Bears race (a race between two eights) – Daragh Coen and Brian Maye. They were in the winning Bulls eight which was coxed by Fionn Ryan.
Our thanks to all of the coaches who prepared the rowers and supported them in Castleconnell on the day and to the parents and others who helped with the travel and other arrangements.
