Olympic fever gripped Clonmel on Tuesday morning as hundreds of people gathered at the Plaza to show their support for Daire Lynch.
A big screen was erected at the Plaza for the occasion and locals availed of the opportunity to collectively cheer on Daire Lynch and his double sculls partner Philip Doyle in their bid to reach an Olympic Games final.
There was great excitement on the Plaza as the Irish team won the semi-final to secure their place in the final on Thursday.
