AN OUTSTANDING EFFORT from Irish pair Paul O’Donovan and Fintan McCarthy saw them cruise into the lightweight double sculls final.
The Skibbereen clubmen dominated the semi-final as they took first in a world’s best time of 6:05.33. From the off, they set the tempo and found their rhythm. A chasing Italian boat wilted down the stretch as Ireland put clear water between themselves and the rest of the race.
