Battling tough competition and 26-degree heat, Creedon and O’Sullivan crossed the finish line in second place, claiming a well-deserved silver medal for themselves and their club.
This marks the second consecutive year the pair have achieved podium success together, having achieved silver at the European Rowing Coastal and Beach Sprints Championship in Gdansk, Poland last season.
Their club and hometown are immensely proud of their dedication and achievements – a true inspiration to fellow rowers and the local community.
