Lagan Scullers Club was formed forty years ago by a group of enthusiastic sweep rowers. Recognising that little opportunity existed on the Lagan for sculling, they created a new club dedicated to the sport of sculling!
And so Lagan Scullers’ was born, promoting sculling uniquely, providing boats, equipment, facilities and most importantly, support to all wishing to take part in this exhilarating sport.
Over the years we have grown to be an active, fun loving club where all members enjoy the best of all worlds, great rowing, great entertaining and great days on the Lagan. Check out our gallery and get in touch!
“The home for inspired scullers”
At LSC we want to capture a true sense of family, belonging and ownership coupled with the ambition and aspiration to provide you with the best possible opportunity for success in the art of sculling.
We are particularly proud that we have had many beginners start their journey here and today are recognised as some of the greats of rowing, competing successfully nationally and internationally.
Why not Contact Us now and we’ll be in touch to arrange for you to come and have a go!

(opens in a new tab)Lagan Scullers Club promotes Sculling in Belfast. That is rowing with one oar in each hand.
We’ll put this down to experience…Calm(ish) at the start descended into a pretty hellish cross/head wind, swell plus chop. Rory continued manfully until his craft took on just too much water and began to head towards Davy Jones’ locker.Rory promises to have another go, split times were going well so the record is within his grasp if he gets the conditions 💪
Today is D day for Rory’s record attempt…Rory and his LSC support crew are on the way to the starting point!
Fantastic news from the World Masters regatta in Bled today, a gold medal for Lagan Scullers! Jess won her heat in the WMC1x event by a tight margin in a cracking race 💪👏The ladies are out celebrating and rightly so 🥂
👀 Record Attempt Imminent 👀 Please share this post ❤️Lagan Scullers’ very own Rory O’Connor will soon be taking to the high seas in an attempt to break the long standing record for the crossing from Carrickfergus in Northern Ireland to Portpatrick in Scotland!Rory plans to make the attempt sometime between the 17th and 20th of September, depending on the weather. He is raising money for the Neonatal Unit of the Ulster Hospital where his son recently spent some time before getting home to the family! You can support Rory’s effort at the following link:gofund.me/d9ab5a6dd It’s 22 miles in a straight line and the current record of 3h 35m has been held since 1997 by John Murray, then a schoolboy rower at MCB. John couldn’t be coaxed out of retirement for a re row, but he does wish Rory all the best!Rory (pictured in the comments below) is a multiple senior Irish champion in sculling boats including twice Men’s Senior sculling champion, an ex Irish international rower and more recently, an Irish champion in coastal sculling which should stand him in good stead! However, Rory will be making the crossing in a “fine” flat water boat which will be faster than a coastal boat but less stable…It was a group of Lagan Scullers Club members who first made the crossing in “fine” boats back in the 1970s, when Avril Forsythe, Bill Jacques, Dusty Anderson and Stephen Chambers blazed a trail for others to follow.An VIII also made an attempt but the boat “failed” after 8 hours, proving this is not a crossing for the faint hearted!Good luck to Rory from all his friends at Lagan Scullers’ Club, we’re with you all the way (from dry land 😀💪🤞)
