AOIFE CASEY AND Margaret Cremen got their Olympic bid back on a track with an impressive victory in Monday morning’s lightweight double sculls repechage.
The Cork duo narrowly missed out on direct qualification for Wednesday’s semi-finals when they finished third in their heat on Sunday, but had few worries at the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium as they booked their place at the second time of asking.
The Cork duo marginally trailed Canada at the 500m mark, but pulled clear soon after to leave clear water between themselves and the chasing pack.
They won in 7:11.38, more than five seconds clear of runners-up Canada (7:16.81), with Argentina a distance back (7:29.76) as they took the third qualification place.
Poland, Austria and Tunisia also qualified for the semi-finals out of the second repechage.
Stand up and fight!
WE ARE MUNSTER AND WE CAN SING WHAT WE LIKE!!!
3 tries so far – 1 to go !!!
I played for Munster !
Neil you don’t know what your talking about man. Munster has had a famously huge following long before they became one of the biggest clubs in the northern hemisphere, probably started way back when we beat the all blacks. The score line must be making you bitter. Scottish rugby is nothing to brag about you absolute langer.
Crudge – I know what level of support Munster had before, so don’t start telling porkies. My earlier posts were long before Half time, so u saying I’m bitter is ludicrous – especially as I don’t support Leinster or any other province/team. Finally,cheers for ur parting compliment and go fu** urself.
Classy yourself there Neil
Jimmy – I’m not usually in favor of personal attacks, but seeing that none of ye were able to articulate a response and instead decided to use base, vile language I decided to reply in kind. U got a problem with that ?
Neil seriously we need to get you a hammer and chisel so you can make a start on that chip on your shoulder
Feel good about the game today. Good weather for the backs, expecting a bonus point win tbh
Massive win for Munster today and got the bonus point. Come on Munster!
Sweet way to end a game, well done
We got the win and bonus point but the first 60 minutes were far from impressive. Edinburgh were cat, a serious improvement required for Sars!
No doubt Munster fans singing that song about a town in Connacht. Truly awful. Like Cameron in UK who says ‘we’re all in together’ – it just rings hollow. Community my ars*. Up Edinburgh.
Hey, at least we don’t don our jerseys in pretentious stars in competitions they don’t have relevance in!
Idiot
Wank#r !
Better than trying to sing about a 2 bob hooker – Molly !
That’s it Elrat & Jimmy Finn. Ye disagree strongly with my post so resort to abuse. Class ! How many of the so called ‘fans’ supported Munster before the professional era??? Mmm I wonder.
Neil you could say that about any rugby side in Ireland.
Also.thought o connell was,immense he was my man of match over murray
Munster didnt deserve that bonus point but will take it and badly needed as well , we were awful for first 60 minutes simon zebo was only munster player that tried to break the line,.edinburgh were dreadful for a team.that got to the semis last year its.a terrible comedown
Sarries won’t be cacking themselves looking at that, Munster will need at least 9 points from the back to back matches to have any hope of making the Q-final which I honestly can’t see them getting. Go take out a mortgage and stick it on Clermont to win it…..
Its hard to see past Clermont given yesterdays performance. It is finally their year I think too looking at Leinster as well.
