Their lead continued to grow throughout the race, and they crossed the line with two lengths of clear water in a time of 6 minutes, 39.57 seconds.

Sitting in sixth for much of the race, they surged past Poland and battled with Hungary for fourth but narrowly missed out, crossing the line in 7:55.30. Junior men's quadruple scull Evan O'Byrne, Mattias Cogan, Bill Murphy and Harry McCarthy won the B final.

Junior women's four Anna O'Grady, Cloda Phillips, Isabella Wright and Sarah Rockett placed second in this morning's B Final. The crew led through the halfway mark, but a strong push from Croatia saw them cross the line in second place in 7:24.55.

Ireland's two RWC warm-up games featured two great and two dreadful halves
Ireland finished their Rugby World Cup warm-up games with a defeat to Canada, albeit one that had marked side had started poorly for the second week running and improved in the second-half for the second week while they had managed to overhaul Scotland in Cork, they had fallen too far adrift of Canada in Belfast. As it was, Canada scored five first-half tries to lead 33-7 at the break before a spirited Irish second-half saw the game finish 47-26 in the visitor's favour. READ MORE: First-half poor, second-half better, for Ireland against Canada Stacey Flood was impressive in attack from full-back, Dannah O'Brien may have settled any lingering doubts as to whether she should be retained at Anna McGahan and Beibhhinn Parsons shared the tries, scoring two Djougang, Fiona Tuite and Grace Moore were lively in the pack while there was a salutary lesson with regard to Sam Moynihan who was put on the bench and was a game changer when brought on at England international Ellena Perry came on for Niamh O'Dowd after 55 minutes and will gain some of the second-half credit on coach Scott Bemand reveals his squad on Monday."We wanted to test ourselves, wanted to understand how we get momentum and can maintain momentum against powerful, well drilled teams," said Bemand afterwards."I think that second half was good but it was disappointing to concede at the very end, to the last play."We're winning that second half reasonably well in terms of position and possession so it's a bit disappointing to concede that score."But I think certainly what we can look at is, if we were after performance and momentum, we definitely got to it in the second half."Bemand suggested the squad was not 'picked' before the Canada game and there had been enough on show to make selection extra difficult."There's a lot of girls that put their hands up which is really pleasing."As that second half showed, we've got more than just a 15, we've got a squad, have got people that can come on and people who make differences to the game."So, yes, there are people that have put their hands up. I'm delighted for them and we will see about squad selection now."Ireland had been able to stay in the fight, had not wilted."We're always assessing where we are physically, the girls actually get used to performing with that pressure. It's the nature of what we do, it is elite sport and I think over the last two years, we certainly got better in that coach disagreed Ireland had sold themselves short by only having two warm-up games before the World Cup."No, I don't think we're undercooked. I think we come out relatively well physically."If you look at going to a competition that's six weeks long, if we get to the end, we are going to need fit and fresh bodies that are ready and prepared to play, so the more you take out yourself doesn't help."You have got to use competition to build as well, that's the benefit I've taken of my being involved in the last two World Cups, I've learned a lot from that.

Ciara Mageean receives support on Camogie's big day at Croke Park
Camogie president Brian Molloy has sent the best wishes of the association to Irish athletics star Ciara Mageean, who is currently receiving treatment for cancer. Mageean shocked the Irish sporting world when she made the announcement in early July and the messages of support flooded in as a result. The 32-year-old's background is stepped in Camogie. Famously, the 2024 European gold medal winner declared 'I didn't play Camogie to get boxed in' after her triumph in Rome last summer, referring to her years playing for St Patrick's Portaferry giving her the physicality to power to victory. "I wish to acknowledge in particular those members of our Camogie community who, for health or personal reasons, cannot be with us in person this year," wrote Molloy in his programme notes for today's All-Ireland Camogie finals at Croke Park. "You are very much in our thoughts today. We send our very best wishes to Ciara Mageean, whose unwavering support for camogie continues to inspire all who know her. We look forward to seeing you back in action again very soon, Ciara." After winning bronze in the European Indoors in 2019, Mageean revealed that her most important sporting moment was not her development on the track but instead her aunt Edel teaching her how to strike the sliotar Irish athlete Ciara Mageean is presented with the Spirit of Camogie Award by Hilda Breslin (Image: ©INPHO/Ryan Byrne) ."Although I'm a runner, I grew up with a hurl in my hand, and I grew up playing Camogie," she said at time. "Both sides of my family played hurling for our club in Portaferry, the men for Portaferry GAC and the girls for Portaferry Camogie Club. As people say in the GAA, you're born into it. "I wanted to follow in my aunt Edel's footsteps, she was my idol. I remember going through her jewellery box and looking at all the medals. "My dream was to play for Portaferry and win club championships, and play for Down and play for Ulster, and I wanted to be nominated for an All Star just like her. "What I learned from my aunt Edel was the hard work that goes into it and although I'm not playing Camogie anymore, she taught me that in sport you have to work hard. "It's the days that nobody else sees; the days that I saw her out training were the days that she didn't have a training session on, and she was just down when the field was empty and I saw that the hard work can pay off."
