“We're also very grateful to the volunteers who gave their time on the day to keep everything running smoothly and safely.
“Special thanks to Stuart Cassidy for kindly allowing us access to the river for the race.
“Congratulations to Mary Daly, whose duck crossed the finish line first and won the top prize of €100. The final duck home earned €50 for Danielle Gallagher.
