Gary O'Donovan and Denise Walsh won the lightweight single sculls titles for Skibbereen and Sanita
Puspure of Old Collegians was untroubled in her win in the senior single sculls at the National Rowing Centre in Cork.
There was a shock in the women's pair, however.
Walsh was part of a Skibbereen crew which would have fancied their chances but were out-pulled by Eimear Lambe and Aileen Crowley of UCD, who won by 10 seconds.
Three Castles, a club formed in Blessington only five years ago, saw their junior double of Rory Quinn and Oisin Clune win in the second session.
Their junior quadruple, where the two were joined by Aaron Keogh and Tadhg McKnight, won the first race of the day, a thrilling final of the junior quadruple.
NUIG reached the impressive mark of eight titles for the weekend, while small clubs Fermoy and Clonmel also got off the mark with wins in the women's junior pair and the men's intermediate single respectively.
Cliodhna Nolan also put Carlow in the picture with a win in the women's club one single.
