Grand League Has First Big Hitch

23rd May 2010
Grand League Has First Big Hitch

NUIG’s senior eight took the Leander Trophy with a good win over St Michael’s and Muckross at the Cork Regatta at the National Rowing Centre. The event was run in good conditions but the Grand League suffered its first major hitch when the singles finals were run on mistaken data from the time-trialled heats. Senior athletes ended up as low as D Finals. The organisers acknowledged the mistake and promised to rectify it in future events.
