Blades of Glory: The History Of The Irish Rowing Championships

by Kieran Kerr

  

€ 20.00 

ISBN: 9781068194801

In 1912, the first contest to find an Irish rowing champion took place in Ringsend, which was at the time the home of Dublin rowing. This was a single event for mens eights. Since then there has been an explosion in the number of events, with almost fifty offered in 2025.



This book tells the story of the development and growth of the championships through more than 100 years, only interrupted by the Great War and the COVID pandemic. The book recounts many stories, including the threat by the clubs to refuse to accept the Big Pot because it was made in England, the wrangling by regattas to secure a championship, which up to the 1970s moved around the country. In addition to the history of the championships, the book is packed with facts and figures- results of the 1,830 championships which have taken place to date, details of the 28 courses on which championships have taken place, course records and club rankings.


Part 2 of the book covers the Coastal, University and Indoor Championships as well as some long-forgotten events such as the Provincial and Sprint Championships. The results and rankings for each of these are also included.
