Flesk Valley Rowing Club

Flesk Valley Rowing Club is a friendly and progressive rowing club based in Killarney, Ireland V93ED7 V93ED7Y

Located between the Lake Hotel and the Muckross Abbey entrance to the national park, Flesk Valley Rowing Club was founded in 1920. We have members from as young as 12 right up to their late 60s. We are always looking for new members - send us a DM on Facebook.

Flesk Valley Rowing Club extends its sincerest sympathies to the family of Danny Cronin who passed away recently.

Danny rowed at every grade for Flesk Valley in the 80s and 90s, before going on to win senior races at the Killarney Regatta with the Workmen in 1994 and 1995.

Our Senior rowers continued the club’s preparations for the Killarney regatta this evening (with a bit more heat than they are used to🤔)☀️

Preparations for this year's Killarney regatta continued this morning in glorious sunshine.

It's always special to see and hear the Killarney sixes on the water at this time of the year, continuing a tradition that evokes great memories of the people who have loved these iconic boats over the years.

Hopefully the current generation will come to love them too.... eventually 😁

Finally some sunshine and fair winds this morning 😎! Great to introduce some of our newer members to side by side racing and mayhem of 'the turn'! 😱

‼️ CANCELLED Unfortunately, we have decided to cancel the Head of the Lake event scheduled for Sunday next, due to the forecast for high winds and rain. This is a disappointing but necessary decision from a rower safety perspective. Thanks to all the clubs who had entered, we hope to see you on the Valley shore again soon.

Ocean to City: Mission accomplished!!

Well done to the young lads who completed the Ocean to City - Rás Mór in Cork harbour today: Peter O'Sullivan, Colm O'Súillebháin, Karol Kelly and Donal Kelly, superbly piloted by Paul Burke.

In beautiful conditions the lads navigated the course with style and apparently a little effort, from Crosshaven to Cobh, through Monkstown and Lough Mahon, all the way to the finish line in Cork city.

Thanks to Colm O'Súillebháin for organising, Karol Kelly for towing the boat, Breda Burke for logistical support today and our vocal supporters who cheered the crew home. Thanks also to Fossa Rowing Club for the use of their trailer. 👏

Thanks to all those who helped prepare the crew with some marathon spins on Lough Lein over the past few weeks: Orlaith O'Sullivan, Aodhagán O'Sullivan, Caoimhe Kelly and Noel Prendergast.

Finally a big thank you to all the volunteers along the route and everyone at Meitheal Mara who made the day so safe and enjoyable.

💙💙💙

Ocean to City 2026

Best of luck to the Valley 'super vets' who are taking to the waters of Cork harbour today (Saturday May 30th) for the Ocean to City race.

The sandwiches are made, the first aid kit is packed, the life jackets are colour-coordinated and the cox has the Mr. Sheen and the electrolytes at the ready!

The crew of Peter O'Sullivan, Colm O'Súillebháin, Karol Kelly and Donal Kelly are hopeful that their cox, honorary Kerryman Paul Burke (from Carrigaline, Co. Cork), will prove to be a secret weapon on his home waters, and Paul has promised to cut every corner and keep the rate as low as possible. 😊

Enjoy the day lads!

💙💙💙

✨Head the Fertha 2026:✨ Flesk Valley had an early start this morning for our first event of the season, at the Head of the Fertha in Cahersiveen.

It was great to finally get some sunshine and competitive rowing under our belts. Well done to all our rowers, especially to those who took the water for the Valley for the first time and those who came home with some medals 👏.

Thanks to Paul Coleman and John Fleming for towing the boats for us, and everyone who helped with the boats and gear over the weekend. As always, we are grateful to our coaches and coxes for their time and enthusiasm.

Thanks and well done to Sive Rowing Club and the Kerry Coastal Rowing for organising a very enjoyable event today.

Next up for us is the rescheduled Flesk Valley 'Head of the Lake'(time-trial) on the weekend of June 6/7. (🙌)

Thanks to everyone who shared their photos today, especially Andy and Fiona. 👇📸
