In the MJ15 competition Luke Carroll and Dan Begley performed superbly to win Gold and Silver medals respectively. Both finished very strongly to come through the field in the second half of their row winning the first two places in just the last few seconds. Liam Hennessy and Colm Hennessy took Silver and Bronze in the MJ14 competition with Liam coming from as far back as 14th postion at half way to just pip Colm by 3 meters for the Silver. Ronan Byrne won Bronze in the MJ13s with Stephen O'Sullivan and Stuart Barry close behind
