About this club
Kincasslagh Rowing Club is a current Rowing Ireland club in Kincasslagh, County Donegal. The governing-body directory places it in the Ulster branch and lists river rowing, coastal sculling and coastal sweep among its affiliations.
The club was active by 27 August 1978. The National Library of Ireland holds a Denis Tynan photograph from that date catalogued as members of Kincasslagh Rowing Club with trophies, providing a firm historical milestone without establishing an exact foundation year.
A northwest Donegal community directory states that the club's activity is to preserve, develop and promote rowing in the Kincasslagh area. Rowing Ireland's current listing names Ken Thompson as secretary and Paul McGonagle as captain.
Kincasslagh competes across coastal boat classes. Rowing Ireland's 2021 regatta round-up records the club among Donegal-area teams racing quads, doubles and singles, and championship draws continue to show Kincasslagh crews in singles, doubles, mixed doubles and quads.
In 2024 a Kincasslagh women's quad represented Ireland at the World Rowing Coastal Championships. Niamh Doogan, Dineka Maguire, Katie Shirlow and Claire Feerick raced with Loughros Point cox Cian Mac Suibhne.
The club won three events at the 2025 Irish Masters Coastal Championships: the mixed double, men's double and men's single through C. Gaffney. Kincasslagh also recorded second in the women's 50 single and further podium finishes in women's and mixed quads and the women's 50 double.
