Rowing is a very popular sport in Limerick and there are five clubs around the city. This cache takes you outside Saint Michael's Rowing Club on O'Callahan strand.
Founded in 1901, St Michael's Rowing Club is one of Ireland's Premier Rowing Clubs. It caters for oarsmen and oarswomen from Junior 12 to the more experienced “Masters”, some of whom are 60+ years young !
During the past three decades it has established itself as one of the major forces in Irish rowing by winning no less than 37 Championships at all grades from Junior to Senior. The long 106 year wait came to an end in 2007 when the Club won the coveted Senior VIII “Big Pot” being the first crew to bring the trophy to Limerick in 80 years. It has had 197 of its members selected for International representation. Members have won 3 World Championships and have rowed at three Olympic Regattas. Unlike certain other successful Irish Rowing clubs, almost all its oarsmen and women are "home-grown" having commenced with the Club as Juniors. http://smrc.ie
The cache is in a very tricky container so look carefully!
Training at St Michael's Rowing Club usually takes place for about two hours either side of high water. As rowers arrive and depart, the area can become very crowded, but this seldom lasts long.
Congratulations to 4sisons on FTF
