NUIG were in commanding form at the Tribesmen Head of the River in Galway yesterday. The London Head of the River may have drawn away chief rivals Queen’s University, but NUIG looked very impressive in taking both the National Fours and National Eights head titles. Their eight finished over 40 seconds faster than second-placed Galway Rowing Club.
