Fintan McCarthy and Hugh Moore finished sixth in the lightweight men’s double
The women’s lightweight double of Margaret Cremen and Aoife Casey, who won a brilliant World Championship bronze medal last year, took fifth in their final. Never in medal contention, victory there went to Britain in 6:53:32, the Irish pair finishing in 6:59.64.
Earlier, the Irish women’s four team also had to settle for fifth, finishing 15 seconds down on Romania, who upset reigning champions Britain on the line, clocking a new European Championship best time in the process. The Irish crew – Aifric Keogh, Eimear Lambe and Fiona Murtagh of the Olympic bronze crew from Tokyo – joined here by Tara Hanlon, found themselves sixth at the halfway point, before making up one place in the second half of the race. The Romanians clocked 6:22.69, Ireland were fifth in 6:38.75. Which was disappointing given they finished second behind Britain at last year’s European Championships, beating Romania on that occasion too.
Philip Doyle and Daire Lynch booked their place in Sunday’s men’s double A final after finishing second in their semi-final. Siobhán McCrohan of Tribesmen Rowing Club will also go in Sunday’s final of the lightweight women’s scull, as will the women’s double of Zoe Hyde and Sanita Puspure. The para mixed double of Katie O’Brien and Steven McGowan also go in their A final.
