Fermoy Rowing Club name their new boats after dedicated members

The boats were purchased at a cost of €120,000 over the past 18 months, thanks in part to National Lottery funding of €60,000 in 2015.

Paul estimated that between the nine of these honorees, they had given 500 years of service to Fermoy Rowing Club, which was founded in 1884, having previously been called the Robert Emmet Rowing Club for 30 years prior to that date.

The new boats were blessed by Reverend Tony Murphy and Father Aquin Casey, and the members enjoyed a wonderful evening talking about successes of the past season, and plotting future rowing glory.
