News
Two new racing shells (an VIII+ and a 2x/-) have been added to the boat house today due to the continued support of our members and their generous donations. This is the single largest purchase we have ever made as an organisation and the first time a brand new 8 has been delivered to Coleraine since 2003!
These new boats will serve Coleraine GS Rowing Club for at least the next 20 years and they will continue to bring new athletes to experience the great sport of rowing that we all love. Thank you all very much.
Naming ceremony to come in the near future… watch this space!

Super proud of Fergus Bryce and John Harte competing at The Home International Regatta in Lough Rinn last weekend, both their first senior international regatta.
Fergus Bryce brought home gold in the 4x- 2km race, and coming in 2nd behind England in both his 2x 2km race and 4x- 500m sprint.
John Harte coxed the men’s 4+ to a 3rd place finish in the 2km race and just missed out on the podium positions in the 8+ 2km and 500m races.
Well done to all and enjoy a much deserved break over the holidays!
Congratulations to Molly, Rachel and their crew who competed at the u23 World Championships last week in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
After a tough few days of racing they finished on a high, placing 2nd in the B final, putting them in 8th position overall.
A fantastic result for this young crew, well done!

Huge congratulations to COBRA members John Harte and Fergus Bryce.

Henley Royal Regatta 2023 wrap up:
COBRA members Rachel Bradley and Molly Curry prequalified for The Princess Grace Challenge Cup at HRR last week
The quad convincingly won against Nottinghamshire County Rowing Association by 2 lengths in the first round
Unfortunately on Friday they were beaten by the senior GB quad who went on to be the eventual winners of the trophy.
Matthew Boyce, rowing in a IV+ for Queen’s University and Jack Edgar, rowing in a 4x- for De Montfort University attended qualifiers for HRR last Friday but unfortunately did not get through to side by side racing.
Well done to all four athletes, your performances do not go unnoticed at such a prestigious event!
