0:09:47 > 0:09:50# The sun went down
0:09:50 > 0:09:54# The clouds turned grey
0:09:54 > 0:09:57# You looked at me
0:09:57 > 0:09:58# And said...
0:10:00 > 0:10:04# It's another rainy day
0:10:04 > 0:10:07# It's just another rainy day
0:10:07 > 0:10:09# Another rainy day... #
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Well, when I started off here at the school, by the end,
0:10:43 > 0:10:47I got to row at the Junior European Championships - twice.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52We got silver and bronze medals there. Um, that was a fantastic experience.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55And then, last year, with the university, we got to go
0:10:55 > 0:10:59to the World University Championships in an eight, and we got bronze there.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Then this year, I'm hoping to get onto the under-23 Irish squad.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06It must have been an advantage to you and the people who grew up with you
0:11:06 > 0:11:11that you had this glorious river right on your doorstep.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15Oh, it's fantastic. You look at the size of the river and the quality
0:11:15 > 0:11:19of the water, I mean, you just don't get that anywhere else.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22On days like this, although it's wet and cold,
0:11:22 > 0:11:26I mean, the water is like glass. You just can't beat it.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30The training that you've been doing has led to a lot of places already -
0:11:30 > 0:11:32hopefully it will lead to more places.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34What are your future hopes?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Well, long term - hopefully in five years,
0:11:36 > 0:11:39I'll get to go to Rio for the Olympics.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Um, that would be the long-term goal.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44On the path, hopefully many places over in Europe
0:11:44 > 0:11:46for the World Championships,
0:11:46 > 0:11:49for Senior World Championships and that kind of thing.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54Best of luck with that, but in the meantime, have you any advice for two old codgers like us
0:11:54 > 0:11:59that are trying to go the whole way up to Lough Neagh down to Maghery and then on to Benburb?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Don't fall in.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03It's too cold.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07No, enjoy it. Really enjoy it. It's a fantastic stretch of water.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08Plenty of wildlife.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11If you see a dark streak of light, that'll be a kingfisher.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15And Sammy the seal will probably follow you up, so...
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Wait for the knock on the boat and...just enjoy it.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Thank you!
0:25:03 > 0:25:07# The orange was the size of a watermelon to me
0:25:09 > 0:25:11# Well, at least that is my memory... #
