UL Arena will play host to the Munster Schools indoor rowing blitz this Friday which will feature over 1,000 student-athletes from 10am until 3:30pm.
The day will be filled with relay races on rowing machines by teams of secondary students from all over Ireland. Students from Munster and beyond, having trained in Rowing Ireland classes at their schools, will put up stiff competition for bragging rights while having great fun engaging in exercise and a sport they can do their whole lives.
PE students form teams of five within their year group; experienced rowers can compete together in an open category for an extra shot at bringing accolades to their school. This year 225 teams and 1,026 athletes are registered.
This year for the first time 50 athletes from special schools and special needs classes will compete in timed individual races and relay races, proving what is so true of the sport—that everybody can row.
