Killorglin Rowing Club is delighted to announce the international selection of our Women's Coastal Quad, who will represent the Club at the upcoming European Coastal Rowing Championships in La Línea de la Concepción, Spain.

The crew of Freya Doyle, Maria Murphy, Fia O’Gorman and Kate McMahon, coxed by Celine Kavanagh, will line up in the Women’s Club Coastal Quad (CW4x+), taking on some of the best club crews from across Europe.

The selection is another fantastic achievement for the athletes and for Killorglin Rowing Club, reflecting the strength and continued success of our women’s coastal rowing programme.

Following a hugely successful domestic season, the crew will now have the opportunity to carry the Killorglin colours onto the international stage and test themselves against top European opposition in La Línea.

A special thank you to Mike, whose coaching, commitment and support have helped prepare the crew for this opportunity, and to our club sponsors Local Solicitor and Fexco, whose continued backing plays an important role in supporting our athletes and the development of rowing in Killorglin.

We would also like to acknowledge the families, volunteers and wider KRC community who continue to support our crews both on and off the water.

Representing Killorglin Rowing Club on the international stage is a tremendous honour, and we are incredibly proud of Freya, Maria, Fia, Kate and Celine as they prepare for the Championships.

Congratulations on your selection and best of luck in La Línea! 💙🤍

🌍 FROM KILLORGLIN TO WORLD CHAMPION 🥇

On Friday in Amsterdam, Zoe Hyde became a World Champion, winning gold for Ireland in the Women’s Double Sculls alongside Mags Cremen of Lee RC.

But Zoe’s story started long before the Irish vest and international podiums. It started right here, on the River Laune.

Zoe first took up rowing at Killorglin Rowing Club at just 13 years of age. After stepping away from the sport during university, she returned to the club, rediscovered her love for rowing and began a journey that would ultimately take her to the Olympic Games – and now to the top of the world.

Her achievement is an incredibly proud moment for everyone at Killorglin Rowing Club, but it is also a powerful reminder of what a strong junior pathway at the Club can make possible.

From a small community club in Kerry have come three Olympians – Aileen Crowley, Monika Dukarska and Zoe Hyde.

Behind those achievements are years of junior coaching, volunteers, parents and countless hours on the river, creating an environment where young people are given the opportunity to discover just how far they can go.

For every junior currently learning to row at Killorglin, Zoe’s journey carries a simple message:

YOU HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE. WHY NOT HERE?
..and perhaps the next journey is about to begin!!

🚣 Killorglin Rowing Club welcomes boys and girls aged 12 and over who would like to try rowing. No previous experience is necessary – just a willingness to give it a go.

📩 To register your interest, email [email protected], or keep an eye on our social media pages for upcoming opportunities to try rowing as part of the European Week of Sport this September.

The next Olympian or World Champion could already be in our community, waiting to take that first stroke.

Congratulations Zoe and Mags – World Champions! 🇮🇪🥇

From Killorglin to the world 💚🤍🧡 💙🤍

🇮🇪 INTERNATIONAL SELECTION 🇮🇪

DUKARSKA TO REPRESENT IRELAND AT EUROPEAN BEACH SPRINT & COASTAL ROWING CHAMPIONSHIPS

Killorglin Rowing Club is delighted to congratulate Monika Dukarska on her selection to represent Ireland at the 2026 European Rowing Coastal & Beach Sprint Championships in La Línea de la Concepción, Spain, this September.

Monika has been selected to compete across both championship disciplines, representing Ireland in:

🌊 Coastal Endurance – Women’s Solo (CW1x)
⚡ Beach Sprints – Mixed Double (CMix2x) alongside Thomas Sheridan of Wicklow Rowing Club.

The selection marks another significant milestone in Monika’s international career and an exciting return to the Irish team just nine months after the birth of her daughter Maggie. No stranger to the international coastal stage, she brings considerable experience to the championships, having previously won European silver in the coastal solo and bronze in the Beach Sprint solo, as well as World Championship gold in both the women’s solo and mixed double.

Her selection in Beach Sprints is particularly exciting as the fast-growing discipline continues its journey towards its Olympic debut at Los Angeles 2028.

A huge congratulations to Monika, and to Thomas Sheridan and Wicklow Rowing Club on his selection. We wish the crew every success as they prepare to pull on the green jersey in Spain! 🇮🇪💪

From everyone at Killorglin Rowing Club - congratulations Monika, and best of luqck in La Línea! 💙🤍

FEXCO BACKS THE FUTURE OF KILLORGLIN ROWING CLUB 💙🤍

Killorglin Rowing Club is delighted to announce a new three-year partnership with Fexco, supporting the club across the 2026–2028 rowing seasons.

This multi-year commitment comes at an important time for our club as we work towards upgrading our facilities, progressing key infrastructure projects and securing a strong and sustainable future for rowing in Killorglin.

Fexco’s support will help us build momentum behind these ambitions, strengthening our ability to pursue further grant funding, community support and investment as we work to turn our development plans into reality.

For a community club like ours, having the backing of a company with such strong roots in Killorglin is particularly meaningful. It is an investment not only in our facilities, but in the future generations of athletes, volunteers and families who will call Killorglin Rowing Club home.

We are incredibly grateful to Fexco for coming on board, believing in our vision and supporting the next chapter of our club.

We look forward to working together over the next three years.

Killorglin Women Return to Wicklow with a Proud Championship Tradition

This Sunday, the 23rd of August, Killorglin Rowing Club will return to Wicklow for the Swift Racing Endurance Senior Championship, with three Women's Open crews taking to the water.

Killorglin will contest the Women's Open C1X, C2X and C4X+.

Monika Dukarska will race the C1X, while Fia O'Gorman and Maria Murphy will form the C2X. The C4X+ crew will comprise Fia O'Gorman, Monika Dukarska, Maria Murphy and Freya Doyle, with Celine Kavanagh taking on the coxswain role.

For Killorglin, however, Sunday's racing represents more than simply another championship.

The club has built an extraordinary record in Irish Offshore Championship racing, particularly in the women's events.

The Women's Coxed Quad title has belonged to Killorglin for eight consecutive championships, from 2018 through 2025. It is a record of consistency and excellence that reflects the strength of women's rowing within the club.

The club's record in the Women's Solo is equally impressive. Killorglin won the title in 2017 and then again every year from 2019 through 2025, giving the club eight Women's Solo national titles in nine championships.

There has also been sustained success in the Women's Double Scull, with Killorglin winning national titles in four consecutive championships from 2019 to 2022.

This remarkable record has been built through the commitment of many Killorglin rowers over the years. Each championship crew has contributed to a tradition that today's athletes now have the opportunity to continue.

As the three crews head to Wicklow on Sunday, they will carry that history with them - but also the chance to create something new.

We wish Monika, Fia, Maria, Freya and Celine (and coach Mike of course!) the very best of luck as they represent Killorglin on championship day.

Go Killorglin! 💙🤍
