Head over to our instagram (@nuigbc) for the latest news and updates from the team.
NUI Galway Boat Club is one of the most successful clubs in the University and indeed in Irish rowing. In the last decade, we have captured numerous National Championship titles across the board - Men's and Women's; Senior, Intermediate and Club; Novice; Masters; eights; fours; quads; pairs; doubles; even the single scull. If anyone has raced it, we've won it.
This past season saw the club take home 6 championship titles, and we placed second in a further 7 events. This places NUIGBC miles ahead of the competition on a national scale.
Furthermore, NUIGBC athletes Clíodhna Nolan and Bríon O'Rourke raced for Ireland at the Rowing U23 World Championships in Sarasota, Florida this past July. Incredibly, they came 4th and 7th respectively. Lisa Murphy stepped up at the U23 European Championships and proudly represented her college and country.
