The boat naming ceremony which took place on Sunday 8th Oct. attracted a large turn out and proved to be an outstanding success.
The blessing was performed by Fr.O'Malley of St.Mary's and those in attendance included Minister Willie O'Dea, Deputy Mayor Kieran O'Hanlon, Jan O'Sullivan T.D., Cllr. John Gilligan, Denis Treacy, principal of Gaelcholaiste Luimnigh, and representatives of the local rowing clubs.
The occasion coincided with the launch of the raffle to raise funds towards the purchase of a new boat. Anthony Foley was on hand to present a signed and framed Munster jersey to the club which will be a much sought after prize in the raffle
Refreshments were served in the clubhouse to round off a very successful day. The committee wish to thank all those involved in the organisation of the event, especially the oarspeople who had the clubhouse and grounds looking splendid.
