Her Sport and Rowing Ireland, with thanks to the support of the Women in Sport Streaming grant, will be livestreaming the Women's race at Erne 4's Head of the River this Saturday the 19th of November.
The Women in Sport Streaming Grant was announced in June 2022, with Rowing Ireland successful in their application. Visibility is a key area of the Sport Ireland Policy.
The objectives contained in the Policy are:
