Edermine Ferry Rowing Club
Enniscorthy, County Wexford
About this club
Edermine Ferry Rowing Club is based on the River Slaney at Edermine, near Enniscorthy in County Wexford. Rowing Ireland lists it as a Leinster coastal club offering both sculling and sweep rowing.
The club was founded in 1973 and marked its 50th anniversary in 2023. A club celebration attended by 95 members and friends revisited the arrival of its first boat in 1973 and launched a booklet of members' memories.
Edermine rows traditional Slaney Cots as well as the universal one-design yawl. Its programme includes adults and juniors from age ten, and a 2017 club profile described rowing as a family sport with no upper age limit for adults.
The club belongs to the Slaney Rowing Association, whose member clubs host regattas. Edermine's own Slaney Cot regatta is listed by Rowing Ireland at Edermine, Enniscorthy, and its trophies include Slaney Cot cups dating from the 1970s.
At the 2023 Irish Coastal Rowing Championships in Cork, Edermine entered a club-record 16 crews. The club won the traditional, timber and classic medal table and finished fourth overall after victories that included the senior ladies, ladies vet, mixed vet and men's quad events.
Edermine set another club record with 12 gold medals at St Kearns in 2024. In 2025 it launched a new vessel funded through local grants and fundraising; the same report records members joining river clean-ups with Enniscorthy Tidy Towns, Slaney Search and Rescue and Go Paddle.
