Banbridge man Phil Doyle takes Olympic Bronze in the Men’s Double Scull for Team Ireland with teammate Daire Lynch!
Richard Archibald, Interim CEO, Sport NI said:
“Huge congratulations to Phil Doyle and his teammate Daire Lynch on their bronze medal in the Men’s Double Scull for Team Ireland.
“The pair has had an incredible year, winning gold in the Ponzan World Cup and now a bronze medal at the Olympic Games. This is the second rowing medal for an athlete from Northern Ireland, with hopefully more to follow, and shows the strength of the sport here. Our local rowing clubs are providing opportunities and helping our young athletes to grow and thrive in the sport.
“We are proud to have supported Phil at the start of his career through our National Lottery funded Athlete Award.”
