Oliver Lynch auctioneers is offering to the market a spacious four bedroom detached family home in Menlo.

Rowing is a sport of endurance, strength, and finesse, a sport naturally suited to Galway where the river connects Lough Corrib with the sea. The earliest reference we have to competitive rowing on the Galway river is 1839. The first rowing club established here was the Corrib Rowing and Yachting Club in 1864 (149 years ago!) and as other clubs formed, rowing matches became more competitive. In 1868, Commercial Rowing Club was formed and the inter-club rivalry generated a lot of interest in the sport.

This cottage was built in 1810 and combines the traditional design of the authentic Irish cottage with all the comforts of a modern home. This idyllic home is situated in Menlo village, which benefits from the peace and tranquillity of the surrounding countryside, with the city less than three miles away.

O’Donnellan & Joyce will place three country properties under the hammer at enormous discount prices at its next spoilt for choice must sell property auction on Friday December 16.

July 4 1929 was an important day in the history of rowing in this country, and particularly in this part of the country, because that was the day that Emmetts Rowing Club from Menlo brought the first senior eights championship trophy to Galway. Almost all the members of the crew were native Irish speakers and all lived locally and worked by the river. During a very wet spring when they could do very little farmwork, someone suggested to them that as boatmen, if they were all put into a racing eight, they would be able to take on any crew.
