Aughnacloy native to row for Team GB Posted: 9:19 am April 9, 2021
By Tommy Nethery
A farmer’s daughter from Tyrone who only took up rowing when starting university will this weekend represent Team GB at the European Rowing Championship in Italy.
And having secured a place in the women’s eight team for Varese, Aughnacloy woman Rebecca Edwards is very much in the reckoning to compete at this year’s Olympic Games should they go ahead in Japan.
From first picking up an oar while studying French and Spanish at Queen’s University, Rebecca’s rise through the rowing ranks has been nothing short of remarkable and in 2018 she set herself apart as one to watch when striking double gold at the World University Championship in Shanghai.
