Crom a Boo, known to Historians as the war cry of the Fitzgeralds. but to every Athy person it means just one thing - the graceful humped-back bridge which spans the River Barrow in the centre of the town. On the 23rd May, 1796 the first stone of the new bridge was laid by Robert Duke of Leinster. Crom a Boo Bridge while still in its infancy was to witness many cruel acts. Trial by Court Martial was a common occurrence in Athy during the months of May and June 1798. Seven men were tried, convicted and hanged in the town in the early days of June. ----- Frank Taaffe, Athy.

I rowed in a regatta there back in the late 1960's and the Barrow in New Ross is a formidable river. It's tidal and wide and if there's a wind blowing it could be very lively. We won, of course, but I remember that the club seemed to have more to do leisure than serious rowing.

The other New Ross Boat Club group photos date from 1900 - 03, but look very formal as compared to our lads

The crossed arms are the standard pose for athletic portraits of this time, along with the de rigeur moustache.
