Historic club photos

Below are some historic photos of the club taken from the wonderful book: Fossa Rowing Club - A Century of History. Written by our former Club Chairman and former rower and trainer Sean Myers, who sadly passed away recently. A true club man who trained crews in the 1970's and again in the 1990's, Sean wrote a truly wonderful book, and was so proud to see the club developing over the years into the club we now love and adore.

The book was written in 1993 to commemorate 100 years of Fossa Rowing Clubs history since its founding in 1893. Now in it's 133rd year, the club is going from strength to strength but it's so important to remember the contribution of so many who have gone before, representing the club across the years.

Take a look at the photos, there are plenty of familiar faces to be seen here!

Just over 2 weeks to go to the biggest rowing event of the year - the Killarney Regatta. Our crews are preparing and working hard for what’s probably the best event of the season. So be sure to pop the date in the diary, get ready to head down to the Lakeshore and shout on Fossa Rowing Club!

Nothing beats a summers evening out on the water and getting to see all the mountains and town from the water side.

My favourite memory is when I caught a crab in the Killarney 6 and my younger brother Adam was behind me and started laughing, I’d say he’s still laughing about it

My favourite story is when we were up in Antrim for the all Irelands and a group of the lads all were in the playground and to get out we all hopped the fence and I didn’t quite stick the landing 😂
