The first event of the season, the Irish Indoor Rowing Championships, has an entry packed with Olympic hopefuls. Some could also represent Ireland at the World Championships in August. The big prize of the year is a spot in the Ireland lightweight double for Tokyo in July. Tom Kelly of Kenmare and Molly Curry of Coleraine Grammar School could be the top two junior rowers in Limerick. The vista for top junior rowers is attractive this year, as the World Championships in Bled features junior and under-23 events alongside the senior, non-Olympic, programme.
