Recent Comments moved from the old thread.............. Fil- sez: after the newry trials and skibb head we've a fair idea of whos looking hot this year for sculling catagories but does anyone know of any 8s 4s or pairs going around? only event i seen them in was micks head wich had a small enough entry, bish as always seem to be going for the 8 and 4 expectedly enough and pres raced there tho in same catagory so they're upfor giving it another stab, skibb had a junior paid in the national head that said they raced nobody but posted a good time beating many doubles so maybe there might be something there, anyone know of any other sweep ============================== boworstroke sed: id say the usuall crowd to be honest... bish, bann, portora, clonmel, cork bc, pres, st michaels. say there will be some good racing at the 4's head in limerick! ============================== ....and Chuck sed: in my opinion, if there is a junior 16 4+ event, pres have it in the bag ;D

Chuck, You apparently weren't at Queens and didn't see the Bann and Bish jnr 16 4+s that honestly looked much faster than anything that raced in Skib/Schools.

No I'll be fine Just gunna say that bish didn't win either race and that chuck should wait until pres have raced the northern schools before saying they're going to win. Anyway, Is there anyone else for jnr 8s or is it gunna be a bann bish portora top 3 again?

Athlone have an 8, they won neptune beating methody in the final, at most they'll come third if portora have a bad race other than that itll be bann in first,bish second and portora in third. Clonmels 8 is over age for the majority so there out, and pres havent been there really so far at j18 level this year. I cant think of any other clubs that may have one..

I cant think of any other clubs that may have one.. no offence, but i think thats a pretty inaccurate comment.. athlone will not have an 8 anywhere close to portora or whoever comes 3rd in the 8s.. they only beat methody because, well, methody are just terrible.. itll be a close race with bish and bann and then portora not too far behind..

well my main reasoning for methody for the 4 is that the club has stopped messing there better people around with absolutely shite ones in their 8 and i believe if they focus on that 4 they could really have something with it, they didnt do too badly at queens as they very close to bann in the heat of queens (think it was like 0.5 seconds away) and won their B final over queens and neptune

suprised that methody pair are going to the coupe to be honest. They couldnt even win portadown regatta in a double?I have nothing against them but maybe we should have a different way of trailing. We see 7 scullers going forward for coupe/worlds but the the 7 or so other scullers who earned there places as some of the top juniors we have simply get discarded for homes sculling. Why dont we look at trying these athletes in pairs aswell?

Based on trials MCB deserve their place at coupe simple as. From what ive seen over the years there very much a sweep rowing club like all the schools clubs in ireland so sweep is their focus and not sculling, they probably only entered the double as there was no pair event
I think one thing weve to keep in mind is the champs been split in two for instance bann will no doubt row the 8 and 2 4s at the 1st champs and could very well win, if so they could take off the rest of the summer and enjoy it as a group of young people would and they wouldnt row the pair come second champs. I would be very wary of a skibb boat entered at the 1st champs, there focus is very much on the sculling catagories in the second champs but that slick quad could well enter a four or 2 pairs, everyone remembers how they won the quad 2 years ago and no one suspected them to be there at atall because they didnt race it all year
