Huge congratulations to Oliver Short and his club, St Pat’s TOW. On Saturday Oliver competed in the National Rowing Championships in Limerick.
Oliver won gold in the 2000m( I believe this was an epic race, winning by a mere 0.2 second) and gold in the 1000m.
Comhghairdeas Oliver and St Pats TOW. St Pat’s TOW medal tally from the Championships was four gold, two silver and two bronze.
