SMRC at Rowing Ireland Awards Night
SMRC was well represented at the Rowing Ireland Awards Night.

A massive congratulations to our winners on the nightPat McInerney – Coach of the Year
Jack Rafferty – Junior Male Rower of the Year
Pa has been an amazing coach to all, not only in SMRC, but across Ireland. We always knew he was the best coach in Ireland (next stop the world?)

Jack had an astonishing 2024 season, not only at a national level, but his performance at Junior Worlds was fantastic. We know this is just the start of Jack’s achievements!
